On August 11, 2022, the CDC released their new guidance and recommendations for COVID-19. Brown County Public Health continues to align with the CDC's recommendations, but still encourages individuals to speak with their health care provider if they are considered high risk for infection.

Key changes:
  • Social Distancing: due to the increased number of vaccinated individuals and those with immunity as a result of previous COVID-19 infections, the CDC no longer recommends staying at least 6 feet away from other people to reduce the risk of exposure.
  • Quarantine: unvaccinated individuals no longer need to quarantine for 5 days after exposure to COVID-19. Instead, they should wear a mask for 10 days and get tested on day 5. Stay home if you develop symptoms and test again.
  • Test to Stay: if an individual was exposed to COVID-19, they no longer need to receive a negative test to stay in school as long as they are not experiencing any symptoms.
  • Contact Tracing: should be limited to high risk situations, such as hospitals and group-living settings (nursing homes, shelters, prisons).
Aug. 15, 2022
This week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) authorized the use of the Pfizer vaccine for children 6 months through 4 years of age as well as the Moderna vaccine for children 6 months through 5 years of age. This means that everyone 6 months and older is now eligible to receive vaccination against COVID-19. Both the Wisconsin Department of Health (DHS) and Brown County Public Health support the recommendation that children ages 6 months through 5 years should be vaccinated against COVID-19. ​

COVID-19 vaccines remain available to all Wisconsinites at no cost regardless of immigration or health insurance status. Parents and guardians can schedule an appointment for the vaccine using a variety of options, including with their health care provider, at community-based vaccination clinics, local and tribal health departments, or pharmacies. Vaccination sites across Wisconsin may choose to provide vaccines to specific age groups. Parents and guardians are encouraged to check with their local health clinics or visit www.vaccines.gov to find vaccination sites for specific age groups.

Darwin & Dinosaurs Opens Saturday at the Neville Public Museum.  
 
Green Bay, WI – March 3, 2025 – In 1831, Charles Darwin received an astounding invitation: to join the HMS Beagle as the ship's naturalist for a trip around the world.
 
After publishing what he saw on a five-year voyage around the world, studying the plants and animals of South America, the Galápagos Islands, and Australia, years of research and experimentation shaped his perspectives and help draw conclusions only possible in light of then-recent geological and paleontological discoveries.

The exhibition Darwin & Dinosaurs is a story-based, interactive exhibit that sets the stage before Darwin’s famous voyage, follows him around the world as he finds clues indicating life changes, and concludes with modern discoveries that have proved him right.

Fascinating, engaging, and, most importantly, educational, Darwin & Dinosaurs lets visitors see the world as Darwin saw it through rare and fascinating artifacts, first publications, scientific instruments, letters, scale models, and more.
 
Darwin & Dinosaurs is on display March 8th through August 31, 2025.

As of yesterday, Brown County's COVID-19 community level was downgraded to low. We understand that there are questions regarding why this level changes as often as it does and hope that this helps to provide answers to some of those questions. The CDC uses the following 3 metrics to determine each county's current risk level, which is updated every Thursday:
  • Total new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population in the past 7 days
  • New COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 people in the past 7 days
  • The percent of staffed inpatient hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients
These numbers can vary week by week, and it's not uncommon to shift from a low to medium or high level and then back to a medium or low level again. Based on this information, Brown County expects to see our COVID-19 community level continue to fluctuate weekly and will continue to keep you updated with the most current information.

Please visit CDC COVID Data Tracker: County View for a breakdown of our weekly metrics.

June 17, 2022
As of June 3, 2022, Brown County shifted from a medium to a low COVID-19 community level. This means that a decrease in both cases and hospitalizations has occurred according to the CDC data: COVID-19 Community Levels | CDC.

CDC COVID-19 community levels are based on three key metrics:
  • New COVID-19 Cases
  • New COVID-19 Hospital Admissions
  • Percentage of Inpatient Hospital Beds Used by COVID-19 Patients
With a low COVID-19 community level, wearing a well-fitting mask or respirator is not required, however residents may consider wearing them in public indoor spaces to further reduce their risk at their own discretion. 
 
Along with ensuring that you are up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccines, residents are encouraged to take additional precautions to stay healthy by:
  • Getting tested for COVID-19 if you have symptoms or were exposed to someone with COVID-19
  • Staying home when you are sick
  • Seeking treatment if you are at high risk or experiencing severe illness 
June 6, 2022
The COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, and death. Fully vaccinated people who test positive for COVID-19 more than 2 weeks after their completed vaccine dose series are called "breakthrough infections." No vaccine is 100 percent effective, and as such we expect to see some fully vaccinated people test positive for COVID-19, but breakthrough cases typically report mild illness or no symptoms.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) monitor rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths by vaccination status. The graph below illustrates the rates of COVID-19 cases among fully vaccinated people with and without an additional or booster dose and compare them to rates among unvaccinated people.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) will be updating this data monthly. Visit COVID-19: Illness After Vaccination | Wisconsin Department of Health Services or CDC COVID Data Tracker: Rates of COVID-19 Cases and Deaths by Vaccination Status for more information.

As of May 12, 2022, Brown County shifted from a low to a medium COVID-19 community level. This means that an increase in both cases and hospitalizations has occurred according to the CDC data: COVID-19 Community Levels | CDC.

CDC COVID-19 community levels are based on three key metrics:
  1. New COVID-19 Cases
  2. New COVID-19 Hospital Admissions
  3. Percentage of Inpatient Hospital Beds Used by COVID-19 Patients
With a medium COVID-19 community level, wearing a well-fitting mask or respirator in public indoor settings is not required, however residents may consider wearing them in public indoor spaces to further reduce their risk. Individuals at high risk for severe illness can talk with a healthcare provider about taking additional precautions, including wearing a well-fitting mask or respirator and using COVID-19 at home tests before getting together with friends and family.
 
Along with ensuring that you are up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccines, residents are encouraged to take additional precautions to stay healthy by:
  • Getting tested for COVID-19 if you have symptoms or were exposed to someone with COVID-19
  • Staying home when you are sick and seeking treatment if you are at high risk or experiencing severe illness

Green Bay, WI—March 18, 2022 — What’s Your Function? is a juried exhibition hosted at the Neville Public Museum featuring the artwork of NWTC Artisan and Business Center students, artists, staff, and faculty.
 
Artists were asked to explore the theme of “functional” artwork – from a table to a teapot or a tool – or by simply bringing joy with beauty. The idea of “functional” art doesn’t have to be obvious: it could be as simple as a painting on a wall. You might be thinking: “What function does a painting serve?” It could be to make you think, to provoke emotion, to bring joy, to cover a hole in the wall, or even cause a giggle!

Ever since then, Colony artists have held an annual art exhibit at the Neville Public Museum.

  • Site Search – a search service that can help you quickly find what you need on the Brown County website.
  • Email Alerts – sign up for a notification email whenever new content has been posted for Brown County news, events and updates.
