The single biggest one-day increase yet of reported COVID-19 cases in Door County occurred Thursday morning.  Public Health Manager Susan Powers announced at the Door County Board of Supervisors special meeting that the confirmed COVID-19 cases in Door County increased by six, bringing the total number to 29.   Powers updated the numbers from what she called “the busiest week since the onset" of the COVID-19 health crisis to date.

Powers cited two restaurants, the eastside McDonald’s and Culvers in Sturgeon Bay, that had a small outbreak of the virus among employees that required the temporary closure of the businesses.  Powers says that Door County Medical Center has stepped up the capacity to test for COVID-19.  She adds that Door County will be working on developing community testing sites and increase sustainable capacity in the coming weeks.

Kewaunee County reported that they had one more confirmed case of COVID-19 on Thursday and are now at 30.
