BROWN COUNTY (NBC 26) -- Brown County Health and Human Services – Public Health Division, De Pere Health Department and Oneida Nation Health Department are issuing a second Public Health Emergency COVID-19 Alert.
Health officials are citing the continued high-levels of COVID-19 cases in Brown County, which they say has caused significant strain on healthcare system partners and surrounding communities.
Health leaders had previously issued a similar alert for Brown County earlier this month. It came after health officials in Fox Valley communities issued health alerts due to COVID-19 as well.
To stop the spread, health officials are reiterating the importance of social distancing, wearing a mask, and avoid indoor gatherings with people outside of your household.
If symptomatic or identified as a close contact, call your health care provider, get a test, and stay home while awaiting results. If you test positive for COVID-19, notify your place of businesses or school, as well as your close contacts right away, and instruct close contacts to get tested and quarantine for 14 days.
