After what appeared to be a slow, gentle decline over the past few weeks, data is now showing signs that COVID-19 is again increasing its presence in Sheboygan County.
Active case counts have mostly fallen after peaking in late January, at times by the hundreds each day. Lately, though, it slowed to a pace that took from March 31 until April 7 to drop from 100 to a low of 59 active cases. Since then active cases have increased – by 19 – to Wednesday’s 78 cases being monitored by the County DPH.
Another 8 new cases today pushed that total up to 29,419, while another 3 recoveries upped that number to 29,075.
After falling to a low of 2 on March 24, the latest 7-day average of daily new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Sheboygan County supplied by the Wisconsin Electronic Disease Surveillance System has risen back to 7 within 3 week’s time. This so far mirrors the trend in Wisconsin overall.
The State DHS has revised hospitalization numbers, lowering the count of those ever hospitalized for COVID-19 in the county by one, to 1,209 total patients. Only one person is currently hospitalized.
19 persons got their first dose of vaccine since Tuesday, and 72,539 persons, or 62.9% of the county, have now been vaccinated at least once. 69,608 have gotten two doses with the addition of 78 since Tuesday. That’s 60.4% of the population. 33.0% have gotten boosters, as 68 more got theirs & raised that total to 38,015
