After a holiday hiatus of data that began following last Wednesday’s issue, numbers reported on Monday by the Sheboygan County Division of Public Health indicate that the ongoing coronavirus pandemic remains strong in Sheboygan County.
18,895 cases in all have been recorded during the pandemic, with 943 of those currently active. That’s a decrease of 52 since the last update this past Wednesday preceding the Thanksgiving break, the product of 248 new cases along with 300 recoveries in the same period.
10 more hospitalizations in the last 5 days were accompanied by 9 discharges, resulting in a gain of 1 in the patient population, which now stands at 32.
Sheboygan County is experiencing a “high” level of community transmission, with 451.71 cases per 100,000 persons over the last days. That’s down from 534.94 last Wednesday.
