COVID-19 Test to Treat: Wisconsin continues to receive allocations of oral antivirals as well as monoclonal antibodies to treat patients diagnosed with mild to moderate COVID-19. Wisconsin also receives allocations of Evusheld, a monoclonal antibody treatment used for prevention of COVID-19 in people unlikely to produce an immune response to COVID-19 vaccination. Early testing and treatment for COVID-19 can mean the difference between a hospital stay and at-home treatment with lifesaving medications. Get tested at a Test to Treat location as soon as you experience symptoms, even if your symptoms are mild. If you test positive, you can talk to an on-site health care provider to find out if antiviral pills are right for you. Learn more about available treatments. Visit the Test to Treat website to learn how to get started.

Planning a Spring Break Trip or Just Returning from Travel?: The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is encouraging Wisconsinites planning or returning from spring break travels to take simple public health precautions to prevent illness. Although overall COVID-19 case numbers are declining, students and other travelers can still become ill or spread COVID-19 to others. Getting tested after returning home if you’ve been to a location with high COVID-19 Community Levels and continuing to layer prevention strategies are essential steps for staying safe, protecting the most vulnerable in our families and communities, and reducing strain on health care systems in communities across the country. If Wisconsinites do travel, DHS recommends they know the COVID-19 Community Level of their destination and follow the appropriate precautions. Wisconsinites should continue to practice layered prevention strategies as recommended to stay safe, protect others, and reduce strain on health care systems.

What is Public Health: Public health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play. Public health professionals help communities prevent, prepare for, withstand, and recover from the impact of a full range of health threats and opportunities, including disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and refugee crises. They also provide key vaccinations and child health programs, cancer screenings, lead paint remediation for landlords and homeowners, and surveillance for chronic diseases, while supporting communities by ensuring access to the conditions needed for good health. From mental wellness to climate and health, accessibility to community resilience, from transportation to jobs, housing, and education—these societal factors all play a role in a person’s health. Learn more about what the Winnebago County Health Department does for the community.
