The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is encouraging you to mask up and use other mitigation strategies this Labor Day weekend as the seven-day average of new COVID-19 positive cases reached a six-month high on Wednesday.
The seven-day average for positive COVID-19 cases stands at 1,699, just about double where it stood on August 3rd. The average number of new deaths remained at eight. Door, Kewaunee, and 55 other counties are now suffering from very high disease activity over the last two weeks, compared to just 15 considered in the high range. Door County will give its second COVID-19 report of the week on Thursday while Kewaunee County will provide their update on Friday.
