- Vaccination and prevention efforts remain critical to keep our case counts low. Although we have seen a significant decline in cases, the threat still remains that cases could increase if we don’t increase vaccination rates enough. We are in a window of opportunity right now to prevent further cases, hospitalizations and deaths related to COVID-19 through vaccination. You and those around you are safest if you are vaccinated. Let's keep cases low by helping everyone eligible get vaccinated.
-
WI DHS has indicated increased circulation of non-COVID respiratory viruses in Wisconsin. Everyday actions that prevent the spread of COVID-19 can also prevent the spread of other respiratory illnesses. Wash your hands often with soap and water, cover coughs and sneezes, and stay home when you are sick. People who have symptoms should stay home to prevent the potential spread of illness, especially in summer camps, child care programs, long-term care facilities, and other settings where close contact is likely.
- Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of cases, burden rate, testing numbers, percent positivity, hospitalizations, and deaths have been useful indicators of the current situation.
- Over the past two weeks, we have reported a total of 19 confirmed + probable cases.
- The confirmed + probable case burden is moderate for our jurisdiction. The confirmed + probable case rate over the past 2 weeks for our jurisdiction is 12.5 cases per 100,000 people, a 37% decrease from the case rate of 19.5 cases per 100,000 people reported last week.
- There are at least 233 PCR tests being performed every day in our jurisdiction.
- Over the past two weeks, 0.4% of PCR tests were positive in our jurisdiction.
-
There are currently 2 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Fox Valley Area hospitals.
- The last confirmed COVID-19 death occurred one month ago.
- The delta variant is increasing and more likely to cause cases in groups of unvaccinated persons.
-
Current COVID-19 activity level is indicated as medium for Winnebago County based on a moderate burden and relatively flat trajectory of cases over the past two weeks. As long as the virus is still circulating, children under the age of 12 and all other unvaccinated individuals are still at risk of getting COVID-19.
-
Help protect our community by getting the COVID-19 vaccine and continue to wear a mask if unvaccinated and where masks are required.
-
Vaccines are available any day of the week at a site near you. A regional COVID-19 vaccine tour will be occurring throughout the summer with vaccine clinics being held throughout Winnebago, Calumet and Outagamie counties. Visit www.wcvaccine.org to find answers to your questions about the vaccine and see where you can get vaccinated.
- Of Winnebago County residents aged 12 or older, 55.3% have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. An overlapping one-third of residents have some immunity from being infected already.
-
Everyone 12 and older is eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer is the only vaccine currently approved for 12- to 17-year olds. Not all locations administer vaccines to those under 18, and not all locations carry Pfizer.
- COVID-19 testing remains an important tool in keeping the virus from spreading to those who are unvaccinated. Get a COVID-19 test if you have symptoms, were exposed to the virus, or feel you need a test even though you don’t have symptoms.
- Testing resources are plentiful, and the CDC encourages widespread testing to identify asymptomatic cases so measures can be taken to avoid the spread of COVID-19.

Should I Get My Child Vaccinated? CDC continues to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for everyone 12 years of age and older, given the risk of COVID-19 illness and related, possibly severe complications, such as long-term health problems, hospitalization, and even death. The known and potential benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the known and potential risks, including the possible risk of myocarditis or pericarditis. If you have concerns about COVID-19 vaccination, talk with your or your child’s doctor, nurse, or clinic.
-
Reminder: You Need Two Doses to be Fully Protected - Make sure you know when and where to go for your second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. If you're looking for a location to get your second shot, visit www.wcvaccine.org to find one nearby. Visit the DHS COVID-19 Vaccine webpage for more on what to expect before, during and after you get your COVID-19 vaccine.

COVID-19 Vaccines Protect Against Delta Variant: The COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. have shown to provide good protection against the Delta variant. For those receiving a two-dose vaccine, protection is significantly higher after both doses are given. Get vaccinated and encourage others to get vaccinated. Find a vaccination location near you at www.wcvaccine.org. Track variants in Wisconsin here.
-
When should a fully vaccinated person get tested for COVID-19? A very small portion of people who are fully vaccinated from COVID-19 become infected with the virus. If they do become infected they often have very mild symptoms or none at all (asymptomatic). If a fully vaccinated person has close contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19, they do not need to quarantine or be tested, unless they develop symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or they live or work at a correctional/detention facility or homeless shelter. The CDC also recommends that fully vaccinated people with no COVID-19-like symptoms and no known close contact to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 be exempted from routine screening testing programs when possible. See DHS guidance on after you are fully vaccinated

Free COVID-19 Testing Available for Children, Teachers, Staff and Families at Schools, Child Care Settings, and Summer Camps: COVID-19 testing helps reduce community spread and keeps schools, daycare centers and camps operating safely. Testing children who have symptoms and their close contacts helps rapidly detect cases and reduce or prevent outbreaks. Testing also helps protect children who are not yet eligible to be vaccinated. We urge parents and guardians to learn more about the benefits of school testing, child care testing and summer camp testing. And be sure to ask your child’s school, daycare, or camp about how you can keep your children safe and healthy.

Participation in the program is voluntary. To access this federally funded resource, please complete the K-12 COVID-19 Testing Program Participation Survey
