Currently the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is reporting that every county in Wisconsin is now at a high activity level for COVID-19, with the exception of Milwaukee County, which is currently very high.

According to current CDC guidelines that means that people who are in public indoor places should be wearing masks at all times to slow the spread of COVID-19. Several states are now reporting that their hospital beds are filling at an alarming rate that is making it difficult to treat non-COVID patients. We are seeing a surge at the moment that is approaching the rates of last winter. Please take the current COVID status throughout the country seriously. Wear masks. If you are not vaccinated please consider seeking a vaccination. Vaccine supplies are currently plentiful and you should have no difficulty obtaining a dose of vaccine.
