MADISON, Wis. â The Deer District is the center of the sports world, but could it soon make Wisconsin the next COVID epicenter?
Public health officials warn a surge in cases isnât a matter of if, but when, as Bucks fans continue to celebrate and cases continue to climb. In Wisconsin, the number of people testing positive and being hospitalized for COVID has been growing for two weeks straight, and 80% of new cases are now the highly-contagious delta strain.
âWeâve had breakthrough cases,â explained Brittany Grogan, data analyst for Public Health Madison & Dane County. âThose are vaccinated people whoâve gotten COVID. Luckily, theyâre often mild, but they are still happening.â
MADISON, Wis. The Deer District is the center of the sports world, but could it soon make Wisconsin the next COVID epicenter?
Public health officials warn a surge in cases isn’t a matter of if, but when, as Bucks fans continue to celebrate and cases continue to climb. In Wisconsin, the number of people testing positive and being hospitalized for COVID has been growing for two weeks straight, and 80% of new cases are now the highly-contagious delta strain.
“We’ve had breakthrough cases,” explained Brittany Grogan, data analyst for Public Health Madison & Dane County. “Those are vaccinated people who’ve gotten COVID. Luckily, they’re often mild, but they are still happening.”
MADISON, Wis. At the City-County Building in Madison, where two floors house some of Dane County’s highest security inmates, a row of narrow isolation cells stands mostly empty.
At least for today, when few inmates are falling sick with COVID-19, the absence is a good sign. Designed for discipline, throughout the pandemic they’ve also been used for quarantining the sick or exposed when other cells filled up, jail administrator Captain Kerry Porter said.
But with the delta variant sweeping through the nation, low (or nonexistent) rates of infection may not remain a constant. To Porter’s recollection, at its highest point when measured as a percentage of population, only a quarter of the county’s inmates have accepted a vaccine. When News 3 Investigates checked in on two separate Mondays in July, that rate fell at 19% and 22%, respectively.
