(WHBL) – As of Tuesday’s COVID-19 update from the Sheboygan County Division of Public Health, the number of residents hospitalized for treatment of the disease has fallen to just one, a level last reported on April 1st. Testing, though, resulted in five more positive returns than have recovered in the last day, putting the active case count at 128. The 15 new cases put the running total for the county at 13,697.
721 new cases were reported by the Wisconsin DHS, raising the state’s total case count so far to 600,297. 11 deaths recorded since Monday put the casualty count at 6,850, and another 86 persons were hospitalized in hopes of recovery. A net gain of 11 was noted in the state’s patient population, which now stands at 326. 98 of those are in ICU beds, and 403 patients in Wisconsin are on ventilators.
Full vaccinations in Sheboygan County increased by only a little over 100 since Monday, with 39,985 now considered immunized against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, while 48,327 have received at least one dose.
The Sheboygan County Division of Public Health will be hosting a walk-in vaccination clinic on Wednesday from 2-6 PM at the Howards Grove Fire Department at 1013 Wisconsin Drive in Howards Grove. The clinic will have the 2-dose Moderna vaccine, and those wishing to participate must be at least 18 years of age. The second dose will be administered 4 weeks after the first one. The COVID vaccine is free to everyone, and no appointment is needed to receive the vaccine. Similar clinics will be held next week Wednesday at the Cascade Fire Department, and at the Elkhart Lake Fire Department on May 19th. If you’re eligible but still can’t make one of those clinics, then you’re asked to call and leave a message at 920-395-9890 and a patient advocate will return your call to assist in making the arrangements.
