Over the past month, the number of active cases in the state has more than tripled. The number of hospitalizations, patients in ICUs, and patients on ventilators have all leveled out in the same timeframe.

"You've gotta get your boosters and vaccinations and then go live your life," said Gov. Justice. "We know this is manageable now and we really need to take advantage of that."
