Door County hit a somber milestone last week as the public health department announced the 75th COVID-related death since the start of the pandemic.

It marred an otherwise positive report that saw the county reporting another 22 positive cases and no hospitalizations. Out of 72 counties, Door County and 63 others are in the low COVID-19 community level. Another one of those counties is Kewaunee County, which CDC data shows only had 14 additional cases of COVID-19 last week.

The World Health Organization fell short of removing the public health emergency designation from COVID-19 but admitted that the pandemic is at a “transition point” because the higher immunity among populations worldwide due to vaccination and infection will positively impact mortality rates.
