The number of active cases for COVID-19 will no longer be reported in Door County after changes made by the Centers for Disease Control. The CDC issues new guidance last week stating that COVID-positive people will be able to return from isolation or quarantine after five days if they show no symptoms and continue to wear a mask. That is down from the 10 days you used to have to isolate or quarantine.
The county did report another 176 positive cases since last Thursday out of the 346 tests performed. No new deaths were reported, but another three people have been hospitalized with COVID-19. The number of deaths and hospitalizations announced by the county tends to lag from what is being seen at the state level. Door County remains at a critically high level for disease activity, joining fellow northeastern Wisconsin counties such as Oconto, Brown, and Manitowoc. Kewaunee County has been downgraded from critically high to very high disease activity.
Door County Public Health is offering clinics today (1/4) at the ADRC building in Sturgeon Bay, January 6th at the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire station, and January 13th at the Door County Government Center in Sturgeon Bay by appointment only.
