June 6, 2022 - Brown County Now at a Low COVID-19 Community Level

COVID Community Level

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
