Door County recorded one new positive COVID-19 case Wednesday, bringing the overall total to 121. Two further recoveries were logged, bringing the number of active infections inching down to 11. Door County Medical Center and Bellin Health are preparing for a joint community testing event next Thursday. In the run-up to that, the number of nasal swabs administered is dropping. Door County performed only 31 tests over the past day. 

For those who are interested in knowing whether they have contracted the disease in the past and were unaware of it, an upcoming blood drive may give some answers. The Door County YMCA and Community Blood Center are hosting an event on August 31st at the Sturgeon Bay location. Marketing Director Amy Gamble says that when officials screen the blood to ensure it is acceptable for donations, they look for the presence of antibodies, evidence that your immune system is familiar with the virus and has built defenses against it.

Kewaunee County reported no new cases or recoveries. Its active infection count remains at 11.
