Please note: Case counts do not include patients with COVID-19 symptoms that were not tested. Those with mild symptoms are most often directed to self-monitor at home without testing.
** Each individual test is manually processed by the Winnebago County Health Department. Processing positive cases is our first priority to ensure quick notification and investigation to help prevent spread of COVID-19. Recent negative test results may not have been processed yet. This will not affect our weekly report on percent positivity. Any unprocessed negative results will be accounted for in our weekly data summary that reports the average percent positivity across a two week period.

Additional FoodShare Benefits for July & August - Available August 9 and August 23
Under the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act, Wisconsin is able to provide FoodShare recipients with the maximum monthly benefit amount based on the number of people in their household. Families received emergency benefits in March, April, and May; however, because the state was no longer under a public health emergency, families did not receive additional benefits in June. FoodShare households not currently receiving the maximum monthly benefit amount will receive additional benefits bringing them up to that level. The additional July benefits will be available on QUEST cards on August 9, and the additional August benefits will be available on QUEST cards on August 23. Read the press release.
