MADISON, Wis. Just as local health officials warned a day earlier, Dane County has hit the CDC’s definition for substantial community transmission for COVID-19.
In the CDC’s daily update, Dane County moved from “moderate” levels of community transmission to “substantial” on Friday. It comes a day after Rock County hit the same threshold, and Dane County and Madison officials warned numbers were trending in that direction for them as well.
In its updated guidelines released earlier this week, the CDC recommended communities with substantial or high levels of community transmission go back to wearing masks in all public indoor spaces, including people who have been fully vaccinated from COVID-19.
