The gonorrhea outbreak in Ogle County is so bad the health department is working with the Illinois Department of Public health to figure out what is going on... other than the obvious. According to OCHD, there was a disturbing increase in gonorrhea reports.

The department has seen a 171% increase in cases of Gonorrhea in Ogle County from 2017 to 2018.

The Ogle County Health Department recommends that everyone who is sexually active should talk with their healthcare provider about being tested for STDs, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, and anybody who may have been exposed to gonorrhea through a sex partner should seek care immediately for testing and treatment.
