If you find yourself having a hankering for some classic “Chicago-Style” pizza, or perhaps a bit of linguini, soon you might not need to go farther than downtown Stoughton.
STOUGHTON (WKOW) Public Health Madison and Dane County data from Friday shows the two week average of COVID-19 cases in Stoughton was between 50-60 per 10,000 people.
Mayor Tim Swadley says it was a surprising figure and he s trying to get to the bottom of what happened. It s my understanding that it was a single occurrence. There were some students that had a bonfire, outside of school hours, and that some of the students contracted COVID and others were placed under quarantine, he said.
Dr. Tom Murwin with SSM Health in Stoughton said it s not unique to this community. The transmission is not happening at school, it s happening when they re not following the rules outside of school, Dr. Murwin said. It gets back to the more people get vaccinated, the quicker we get out of this COVID mess.
