MADISON, Wis. – Public Health Madison Dane County announced during a weekly press conference Thursday that for the first time in months, COVID-19 is trending in the right direction.
“Cases are continuing to decline and our percent positivity is also declining,” said PHMDC Director Janel Heinrich. “This year has been a challenging one, but there’s hope on the horizon.”
Heinrich laid out the data during Thursday’s briefing. While transmission rates are still considered “high” in Dane County, the 14-day average for new cases has dropped from 252 to 215, and the 7-day average has dropped from 250 to 178. This is coming at a time when hospitalizations are decreasing and more frontline workers are getting vaccinated.

The Monona Grove School Board (MGSB) has voted not to remove the districtâs name from a recent Wisconsin Supreme Court case.
Court case number 2020AP001419 deals with the rights and authorities of Wisconsin state health officials to close schools, for COVID-19 related reasons, at their sole discretion.
On Aug. 21, Public Health Madison & Dane County (PHMDC) released Emergency Order #9, requiring all Dane County schools to have grades three through twelve go virtual due to COVID-19 concerns.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court deemed this unconstitutional, placing a temporary ban on the order. Now, the constitutionality of PHMDCâs authority to issue any such orders in the future is under scrutiny.
