While the seven-day average for positive COVID-19 tests continues to rise, your local school district will be taking a deeper look at their own numbers in the coming days.

Sturgeon Bay School District was scheduled to discuss the topic during its Wednesday Board Meeting (9/15) after a group of parents called for universal masking earlier this month. An update on COVID-19 is included on the agenda for Sevastopol (9/16) and Southern Door (9/20) as well as a presentation given by Door County Medical Center President and CEO Brian Stephens.

The updates come after the Wisconsin Department of Health Services announced on Wednesday the seven-day average for positive COVID-19 cases jumped nearly 200 from the day before to 1,864. That is the highest it has been since January.  Forest and Buffalo counties saw their diseases activity level increase to critically high levels while Door and Kewaunee counties remain two of the 64 counties currently rated at a very high level.  Door County will release more specific COVID-19 numbers during its Thursday report.
