The Wisconsin Department of Health Services recommends people in Door County at risk for severe illness talk to their healthcare providers about masking and other precautions after the area’s community level was raised this week.
Door County is now one of 38 counties with a medium community level for COVID-19, compared to seven in the high category and 27 in the low category. COVID-19 community levels are determined by a combination of new hospitalizations, current hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients, and new COVID-19 cases.
In Monday’s weekly situation update, Door County Public Health reported 61 new cases of COVID-19 out of 149 tested. Two additional hospitalizations were reported, but no recent deaths were added.
Kewaunee County, which is at the low community level, will report its new COVID-19 statistics Friday afternoon.
