- Currently in Winnebago County the burden of confirmed COVID-19 cases is moderately high and the activity level is high.
- Case rates continue to increase in Winnebago County. Our past 2-week confirmed case rate is 93.3 cases per 100,000 population, an increase from the 69.3 per 100,000 population reported last week.
- Over the past two weeks, individuals aged 20-29 and 40-49 have the highest confirmed case rates.
- While testing percent positivity is currently below 5%, the amount of testing remains inadequate. Not all persons with symptoms are able to get a test at this time.
- Fox Valley area hospitals have adequate capacity given the burden of disease in our community at this time. However, hospitalized COVID-19 patients have trended upward over the past two weeks.
- Increased physical distancing and mask wearing are needed now to reduce case counts and decrease community spread. Keep your social circles small and avoid crowded indoor spaces.
