BROWN COUNTY (NBC 26) -- Brown County health officials provided new numbers Friday of coronavirus cases in the county.

There are now 63 total cases in the county, including five out-of-county transfers, officials confirmed Friday.

Brown County has 16 hospitalizations, an increase of one. There are 17 people now out of isolation, an increase of two.

The new cases include two men in their 60s who have been hospitalized. Cases also included one woman in her mid-30s who was not hospitalized and received the virus through community spread via family member at home. Another case is a 29-year-old man, who is hospitalized and also contracted the virus through community spread via family member at home.

It is assumed the other two cases are community spread as well.

Brown County health officials said they are not aware of any cases tied to people voting in-person, but that may be determined in the future as part of contact tracing.
