You would have to go back to February to find COVID-19/ICU patient levels as high as they are now according to the latest report from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.  On Wednesday, the seven-day average of new confirmed cases climbed 20 to 1,121 with two additional deaths reported. Hospital data shows that COVID-19 patient numbers have increased 600 percent over the past month and most regions are at critical capacity. Door County Medical Center Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jim Heise said they have seen their hospitalizations rise recently when he spoke to DoorCountyDailyNews.com last week.

Door County will release its COVID-19 situation report on Thursday, followed by Kewaunee County on Friday. Both counties are listed in the high activity and substantial transmission levels.
