-
COVID-19 case activity in Winnebago County and across the state has declined following the Omicron peak, but the level of spread remains critically high and hospitals continue to be under stress. Precautionary measures such as wearing a mask, getting vaccinated and getting tested are still needed to prevent hospitalizations, deaths and further spread of the virus.
- Situational Awareness:
-
Winnebago County is at a critically high burden status and activity level. Although we are seeing a decrease in cases, we are likely to remain at a high level of cases for the weeks to come. If you are at high risk of complications from COVID-19, remain cautious at this time.
- Over the past 14 days, the case rate reached 1,248.8 confirmed + probable cases per 100,000 people, which is a 47% decrease from the 2,338.2 confirmed + probable cases reported in last week's report.
-
There are currently 84 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Fox Valley Area hospitals.

If you test positive for COVID-19, you might receive a text message, recorded phone call and/or email from the Winnebago County Health Department. We are asking people that test positive for COVID-19 to reach out to all close contacts themselves. Please reference our website for guidance following a positive test result or exposure to COVID-19.
-
If you or a member of your household tested positive for COVID-19, have symptoms or were exposed, please follow current isolation and quarantine guidance to help prevent spread of the virus. Also, be sure to notify your workplace, school or daycare. High risk settings may have additional guidelines.
-
Unvaccinated people account for the vast majority of severe cases, hospitalizations (over 90%) and deaths from COVID-19. Vaccines are proven to reduce the risk of severe illness due to COVID-19 and protect the people around you. COVID-19 vaccines are free, do not require an ID or insurance, and are available for anyone five years and older. Visit www.wcvaccine.org for answers to your questions and to find a vaccination site near you.
-
DHS recommends a Pfizer or Moderna booster dose at 5 months for everyone 12 years of age and older and also recommends an additional primary dose for certain immune compromised children 5- to 11- years-old.
-
CDC recommends people receive an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) over Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine, when possible and appropriate.
-
To keep kids safe and in school, get your child vaccinated, have your child wear a well-fitting mask, stay home when ill, and get tested if they have symptoms or were exposed to COVID-19. If your child is ill or has been exposed to COVID-19, keep all other children in your household home too.
- COVID-19 testing remains an important tool in reducing spread of the virus. Whether you are vaccinated or unvaccinated, protect others by isolating if infected and get a COVID-19 test if you have symptoms, were exposed to the virus, or feel you need a test. Even if you have no symptoms or mild ones, you can infect others.
-
If you were exposed to COVID-19, wait 5 days from exposure to get tested. Get tested immediately if you have symptoms. Find additional quarantine and testing guidance on our website.

Which Mask Is Best: While any mask is always better than no mask, a properly-fitted high filtration mask such as N95, KN95 and KN94 masks provide the most protection. Any masks is less effective when worn improperly or taken off frequently, so choosing a mask that fits well and that you are able to wear consistently will help you get the best protection. You can improve the protection of your mask by:
- Making sure it fits snugly against your face. Gaps can let air with respiratory droplets leak in and out around the edges of the mask.
- Wearing two masks (a cloth mask over a disposable mask) if you don’t have access to a high filtration mask.
-
Learn more ways to help improve your mask protection.
