The “Burden Rate” of COVID-19 activity in Sheboygan County has fallen below “High” for the first time this year according to Friday’s update from the Division of Public Health, with a reading of 94.3 cases per 100,000 persons. Although this indicates an easing of the pandemic, the activity level remains “High”, with no significant change in the current trajectory of the pandemic.
Still, the active case count rose three to 125, with 16 new confirmed positives weighted against 13 recoveries. One more resident entered hospitalization for the disease, raising the patient count here to 4.
The Facility-Wide Investigations report has been simplified, and now lists only those Skilled Nursing Long-term Care Facilities with active investigations, which currently number zero, and the Education Settings, which include Oostburg Elementary School, Sheboygan North High, Sheboygan South High, and Sheboygan Christian School.

SHEBOYGAN - Sheboygan Area School District families facing homelessness now have a place to stay while they get back on their feet.
Potter s Place, a transitional living facility, housed its first family in need from the school district just after Christmas. So far, two families from the district have stayed at the house while getting jobs and securing other permanent housing. Both ended up there after being evicted. All their basic needs are met, said Sheboygan County Halfway House Director Erik Buchelt.
The four-unit house in the 2600 block of Erie Avenue is furnished, and while staying there, families have access to food and clothes in addition to other resources through the Halfway House, such as partnerships with banks and landlords and housing assistance programs.

Ellis, 88, has had a lifelong love affair with making music. He remembers being 9 years old and playing with a big band. His first love was piano, but for decades he has used the guitar to express himself.
