MADISON, Wis. Just as local health officials warned a day earlier, Dane County has hit the CDC’s definition for substantial community transmission for COVID-19.
In the CDC’s daily update, Dane County moved from “moderate” levels of community transmission to “substantial” on Friday. It comes a day after Rock County hit the same threshold, and Dane County and Madison officials warned numbers were trending in that direction for them as well.
In its updated guidelines released earlier this week, the CDC recommended communities with substantial or high levels of community transmission go back to wearing masks in all public indoor spaces, including people who have been fully vaccinated from COVID-19.

The latest numbers updated Thursday show 899 new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed on Wednesday, continuing a trend in the last week of quickly-growing case numbers. A total of 795 cases were reported on Tuesday and 950 cases were reported on Monday.
That surge has pushed the 7-day average for new cases up to 556. One month ago, the 7-day average of new cases was just 70 per day. The 7-day average hasn’t been this high since May 8, when the state was averaging 571 cases per day.
President Joe Biden is expected to address the nation this afternoon on the growing number of COVID cases across the country as the Delta variant spreads.
