The Centers for Disease Control recommend you take extra precautions after Door County saw its COVID-19 Community Level get raised from low to medium. It was raised to that level prior to Monday’s situation update from the Door County Public Health Department, which indicated that 43 of the 87 tests administered over the last week came back positive. No new hospitalizations or deaths were reported. The CDC recommends people living in counties at the medium level to get tested if they have symptoms, stay up to date on their vaccinations, and talk to their healthcare provider for additional tips if they are considered to be an at-risk individual.
In Kewaunee County, they reported their first hospitalization in several weeks on Friday. The area also experienced 21 new cases, 16 of which are considered active.
Statewide, the seven-day average for new cases of COVID-19 is 1,262, which is 115 lower than it was at the same time on Friday. One troubling trend the Wisconsin Hospital Association reported last week was the increase in hospitalizations for COVID-19 in the state, which is at its highest level since March.
