The Brown County, De Pere, and Oneida Nation Health Departments have jointly issued an update about their response to COVID-19. In the news release, they state “It may seem like old news at this point, but the Health Departments want to stress that individual preventive measures are still the best way to protect yourself and slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community. This virus is going to be present in our community for the foreseeable future.”
They are continuing to advise residents to monitor their own health, and to make sure they are following the guidelines regarding social distancing and mask usage put forth by the CDC and the three Health Departments. Also, De Pere Health Department Health Officer Debbie Armbruster wants the public to keep in mind, “If you choose to gather with individuals outside your household please wear a mask. Everyone should wear a cloth face covering or mask when going out in public, because it keeps your germs to yourself and helps protect other people.”
