The South Milwaukee Health Department has issued its latest COVID-19 data, and you can see it on the city’s Facebook page each Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Wednesday’s update shows 49 new positive tests since July 17 alone — almost a quarter of the city’s total cases since the pandemic began, in less than a week. You can find additional data points on the Milwaukee County dashboard and tracking map.
Please take the steps necessary to stay safe, South Milwaukee, adhering to the guidance you can find on the city website, including wearing a mask in public. We are currently in Phase C.
And please join me in thanking our Health Department, which has been contact tracing each COVID-19 case since March. It’s an incredible amount of work, but critical to help reduce the spread of the virus.
