ROCKFORD (WREX) -- The CDC has placed the following counties under "High COVID-19 Community Level" status:
- Winnebago
- Stephenson
- Boone
- Ogle
- Lee
- Rock County - WI
The Community Level is considered "high" because the levels of COVID-19 hospitalizations, cases, and patients in hospital beds are a strain for the local health system.
CDC recommends that residents in these counties wear a mask when indoors in public, stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, and get tested if you feel any symptoms.
