Door County continues to follow a statewide trend of increased COVID-19-related hospitalizations after releasing its Thursday situation report.

The numbers tend to lag due to the state’s reporting, but Door County did see another five hospitalizations added to its count since Monday’s update. That means 13 of its 175 total ever hospitalized with COVID-19 have come within the first 10 days of the month. The Active cases increased by 42 to 428 after 50 new positive tests were reported. The Evers Administration has requested 100 workers from FEMA to assist with the growing number of hospitalizations in the state. The Wisconsin Hospital Association reported earlier this week that only 41 of its 1,331 ICU beds were available, including only four in northeast Wisconsin. 

Door County is listed at the very high activity level of COVID-19 infections while 19 others including Kewaunee County are currently listed as critically high.
