The COVID-19 community level is likely low where you are, but COVID-19 numbers continue to tick up in Door County and across the state.

In the latest situation update posted earlier this week by the Door County Public Health Department, there were 28 new cases of COVID-19 out of the 108 tests administered. The county reported its first new hospitalization in over a month, but the streak of updates with no additional deaths continued for a fifth straight week.

Door County, along with the rest of northeast Wisconsin, is in the low COVID-19 community level, but five counties are now listed at the medium level, and two are considered high. Statewide, the seven-day average for new COVID-19 cases stands at 1,389, which is about 200 more than a week ago. The average for deaths has also inched up from one to three. 

The Door County Public Health Department offers its vaccine clinic in Sturgeon Bay every Tuesday at the government center from 1-4 p.m. and at the Sister Bay Fire Station on May 12th from 1-4 p.m.
