With only minor statistical changes over the past two months, the pace of the COVID-19 pandemic in Sheboygan County appears as if on idle.
Tragically, the coronavirus is still a potentially fatal pathogen, having claimed the 274th Sheboygan County casualty of the pandemic within the past week. That person was someone in their 50s. Of the 274 total deaths, one was between 10 and 19 years old, one was in their 20s, six were in their 30s, nine were in their 40s, twenty-one were in their 50s, forty-four were in their 60s, seventy-three were in their 70s, and one-hundred-nineteen were at least 80 years old.
Since last Friday’s (June 24) update, another 190 confirmed positive tests were recorded in Sheboygan County, putting the total count at 31,368. Nine persons are currently hospitalized, the same as last Friday, with total hospitalizations up four to 1,255.
The Sheboygan County Community Level from the CDC is still considered “Low”. Within the past 7 days, 180.34 new COVID-19 cases were recorded per 100,000 population, up from 175.13 logged a week ago. During the same 7-days, 8.2 new hospital admissions per 100,000 for COVID-19 were seen, up from 4.5 the week previous. The number of COVID patients occupying staffed inpatient beds also ticked upward to 3.7%, compared with 3.0% last week.
