Published August 15, 2022
CDC recommendations by county are at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html.
In the past week in Wisconsin the number of daily new reported COVID-19 cases and the number of hospitalized COVID patients declined slightly.   For the United States, the number of cases and hospitalizations have declined slightly.  In Wisconsin, the percent of COVID lab tests which are positive decreased slightly to 13.9% in the past week.
 
The BA.5 variant is now causing 88.8% of new cases in the USA.  The CDC has now focused attention on a new sub variant BA.4.6, which now makes up 5.1% of new cases in the U.S., and greater than 10% in a few states, including Iowa.
 
26 Wisconsin counties (up from 20 last week) are now in the CDC high category of community activity, where masks indoors in public places are recommended.  Counties in Northeast Wisconsin are mostly in the low and medium categories, but Brown, Marinette, several far north counties, and Door County are high.
 
Numbers are taken from websites for the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Wisconsin Hospital Association, the CDC, and The New York Times. 
 
Wastewater measures of COVID in Wisconsin show increases in 6 districts and decreases in 9 districts, an improvement from last week.
 
Wisconsin's 7 day average of new cases was improved over the past 2 weeks, 1785 on 7/31 and 1548 on 8/14, a 13% decrease.  This count includes only positive lab tests and reported positive home tests.
 
Wisconsin hospitalizations for COVID showed a small increase over the past two weeks.  There were 482 inpatients on 7/31 and 522 on 8/14, an 8% increase in 2 weeks.  Currently, 76 of the hospitalized patients are in the ICU, a decrease of 3 from last week.
 
The 7 day average of daily deaths due to COVID increased from 2 to 3.
