Nearly half of the reported tests for the coronavirus since Monday in Door County came back positive, according to the Door County Public Health COVID-19 report on Thursday morning.

Of the 133 tests performed, 65 were positive.  The active cases in Door County increased by 54 to 360 as a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report on Thursday shows that fully vaccinated people are at least three times less likely to be infected by COVID-19.  The report also states that fully vaccinated people were half as likely to need emergency care or hospitalization and seven times less likely to die from COVID-19.

There was just one additional hospitalization in Door County, and no new deaths were reported.

On the vaccination front, almost three-fourths (74.3%) of all Door County residents have received at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
