- Vaccination and prevention efforts remain critical to keep our case counts low. Although we are seeing a cyclical 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.
- Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of cases, burden rate, testing numbers, percent positivity, hospitalizations, and deaths have been good indicators of the current situation.
- Over the past two weeks, we have reported a total of 30 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 19.5 cases per 100,000 people, which is a 46% decrease from the case rate of 36.4 cases per 100,000 people reported last week.
- There are over 250 PCR tests being performed every day in our jurisdiction.
- Over the past two weeks, 0.5% of PCR tests were positive in our jurisdiction.
-
There are currently 4 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Fox Valley Area hospitals.
- The last confirmed COVID-19 death occurred almost one month ago.
-
Current COVID-19 activity level is indicated as medium for Winnebago County. 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.
- 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.
