Students and faculty members at UW-Eau Claire are going to have to mask-up for a little while longer.
The school yesterday said it’s extending its mask mandate until the end of the year. Chancellor James Schmidt says about 94 percent of university workers and about 83 percent of students are vaccinated. He says positivity rates are under one percent on campus. But the chancellor is not saying when people will be able to take their masks off.
On the state level, Wisconsin is two weeks behind in reporting its vaccine dose-count.
The state’s Department of Health Services has not updated its weekly dose reporting since the last week of October. That week saw doctors and nurses hand-out just 15 thousand-doses, the lowest since the first week vaccines were available back in December of last year. DHS is also not saying how many children under 12 have gotten their coronavirus shots, nor is DHS reporting anything about boosters.
The state says just over 58 percent of people in the state have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine.
