Door County is still seeing some new cases of COVID-19 trickle in, but it has not seen much worse things happen in two weeks. Of the 148 tests administered last week, only eight came back positive for COVID-19. One case was determined to be probable. The Door County Public Health Department also reported no new hospitalizations or deaths for the second week. Door County Medical Center Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jim Heise says it has been even longer since they have seen patients hospitalized, noting that the recent strain of COVID-19 does not seem as severe as other variants.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services noted a big jump in the seven-day average of new COVID-19 cases on Friday to 568. Still, it admitted it was because of a backlog and not virus activity. Vaccine clinics are held every Tuesday at the Door County Government Center from 1-4 p.m. and the Sister Bay Fire Station on April 14th from 1-5 p.m.
