It is recommended to wear your mask indoors and take additional precautions as needed if you are at risk for severe illness after Door County entered the high community level for COVID-19 on Friday.

The area returned to the low community level for COVID-19 last week after previously being at the medium level. Door County joined nearby Brown County as some of the 11 counties in the high community level for COVID-19. Twenty counties, including Kewaunee County, are in the medium level, with the remaining 41 counties in the low level. 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.

Earlier this week, Door County Public Health reported 55 new cases of COVID-19 with no recent deaths or hospitalizations.
