SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) – After spiking for most of last week – which itself accounted for nearly one-third of all cases reported so far by the Sheboygan County Division of Health Services – today’s daily update represented no new positive test returns for coronavirus here. Five persons have recovered since yesterday, lowering the active case load to 49, one of which remains hospitalized. Another 149 persons in the county tested negative.
Wisconsin added another 174 cases to the record, the lowest daily number in at least 2 weeks, raising the Badger total to 22,932. 2 more persons died of COVID-19, putting the state death toll at 694. With 174 Wisconsin test returns positive compared with 6,081 negative, the percent of all tests coming back positive continues on a 14-day average rise at 2.8%.
The County Division of Public Health says COVID-19 is as contagious as it was originally, and urged people to follow the same measures as initially outlined to slow the spread of COVID-19, namely: stay at home whenever possible. Limit trips to the essentials. Virtual visits are the best way to interact with friends and loved ones, and when in public social distancing of at least 6 feet from all others is a good rule. Face coverings are recommended especially when distancing is possible. Wash hands frequently, avoid touching your face, and if you have symptoms or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, get tested.
Advocate Aurora Health is conducting weekday community COVID-19 testing as of today at its 2636 Eastern Avenue location in Plymouth, with additional and distinct drive-through lanes.
