Door County is continuing to see fewer new recorded cases of COVID-19 according to the public health department’s latest situation update on Monday. Of the 170 tests administered since last Thursday, 71 came back positive for COVID-19. The county has not seen numbers this low since the middle of December. One new hospitalization was reported last week, but no additional deaths were noted. The number of reported hospitalizations and deaths tends to lag locally due to the state’s reporting. Doctors are still encouraging you to mask up despite the improving numbers. Surgical masks, N95s, KN95s, and if necessary cloth masks with more than one layer are recommended against the Omicron Variant.

Door County Public Health recently announced six new vaccine clinics as well to cover the month of February. It will host a clinic at the Door County Government Center for those ages 5 and up from 12-4 p.m. every Tuesday in addition to ones held on Washington Island on February 3rd and at the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Station on February 10th.
