COVID-19 Update for the Week Ending Friday, February 19
The City of Mequon, in coordination with the Washington/Ozaukee Public Health Department (WOPHD) and other state and federal agencies, continues to monitor the spread of COVID-19.
-
As of this afternoon, the State has reported that 1,119,705 COVID-19 vaccines have been administered and 314,762 Wisconsin residents have completed the vaccination series.
-
Due to vaccine supply limitations, the Washington Ozaukee Public Health Department (WOPHD) has removed its public COVID-19 vaccination registration link on the WOPHD website. The WOPHD will reopen registration once the Department receives enough vaccine to hold full clinics.
-
Alternatively, the WOPHD website includes a listing of additional vaccination provider options for eligible residents who’d like to register to receive the vaccination.
-
A study released by the Centers for Disease Control indicates that tight-fitting masks are key to reducing the transition of COVID-19. Additionally, the CDC also recommends using a cloth mask over a medical mask, or a medical mask with ear loops knotted and sides tucked to help create a better fit.
Please help to continue limiting the spread of COVID-19 in the community by maintaining a safe social distance, avoiding large gatherings, following proper hygiene practices, and staying home when sick.
