Pandemic still making spring and summer planning tricky

Even the wider spread of the vaccine rollout this month may not help save some popular events from being postponed or canceled. Door County Public Health Manager Sue Powers told viewers during Thursday’s joint Facebook Live session with Door County Medical Center that her department has received lots of questions on whether or not they could start planning festivals, sporting events, or other large gatherings. She advised organizers to hold off because if anything has been learned during the pandemic over the last year since the first recorded case of COVID-19 occurred in the United States, it is that you never know what can happen from one day to the next. Even with the vaccine available to Phase 1A and 1B individuals, there are still a lot of things that are unknown.

Even after getting vaccinated, Powers and Door County Medical Center Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jim Heise recommends people still practice the same mitigation strategies they have been for the last several months. There has been no word as of yet that any of Door County’s annual spring festivals have been canceled for 2021, but the Door County Hog Wild Run, traditionally held in June, announced earlier this week it was canceling this year’s race because of the “many unknowns still up in the air.”
