DHS updates masking guidance to reflect latest CDC recommendations

By Logan Rude Jul 28, 2021 | 2:02 PM MADISON, Wis. State health officials, in line with new guidance from the CDC, are recommending people who live in areas with substantial and high levels of COVID-19 transmission mask up in public indoor settings, regardless of vaccination status. Experts with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services said the new guidance was issued due to the rising prevalence of the Delta variant of the coronavirus. The variant is highly infectious and is rapidly spreading nationwide. “Wisconsin’s 7-day average for new confirmed and probable cases has been trending upward,” said DHS Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk. “We are concerned with this trajectory along with the increasing proportion of sequenced SARS-CoV-2 specimens that are the Delta variant.”

Health officials stress that this is an advisory and not a requirement or public health order, but that does not mean it’s less important. “The fact that this is an advisory is not a reason to take it lightly,” PHMDC director Janel Heinrich said during a virtual press conference Tuesday. “Let me be clear: the Delta variant is spreading rapidly in our county and could increase severe outcomes in our county if left unchecked.”  The recommendation follows the latest guidance from the CDC, which recommended masks for everyone in areas of high COVID transmission as cases surge across the country and the Delta variant continues to spread. Local health officials say the Delta variant is the dominant strain of COVID in Dane County right now.
