GET ME REWRITE: With Covid spread at extremely high risk in Brown County Wisconsin, Bellin Health announces vaccine mandate

 

Updating the graph and map.

Althiough the number of new Covid cases in Brown County decreased by 14% in the past week, the weekly tally is its 2nd highest.

Brown County is one of 56 (of 72) Wisconsin counties that are at extremely high risk of Covid spread.


Dr. Donald Beno, a pediatrician with Aurora Children's Health in Green Bay, will speak to board members and district officials at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the De Pere High School auditorium. Because it's not a regular meeting of the board, there won't be a public comment period. 
Beno's presentation will precede a board discussion on the strategies the district has available to minimize the spread of COVID-19 among students and staff. The goal is to figure out how to increase the odds schools can remain open as the highly contagious virus again is surging in the community.
