Medium Community Level - What does it mean? How does it affect me? On Thursday, May 5, 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its COVID-19 Community Levels with new local data that puts Winnebago County in the Medium category. The Community Levels are a tool for monitoring COVID-19 and its impact on communities, and the recent uptick in cases in Winnebago County have resulted in an increase in the county's level from low to medium. Recommendations for Medium Community Level are as follows:
- If you are immunocompromised or at high risk for severe disease, talk to your health care provider about whether you should wear a mask in public.
- If you live with someone at high risk, or come in contact with people who are high risk, consider wearing a mask while indoors with them or using a home test before coming in contact with them.
-
