There is a bit of good news and a bit of bad news from Manitowoc County in relation to COVID-19.

First the positive, as for the first time since the start of the pandemic, the number of people who have recovered from the virus outweighs the number of people who are still battling it. As of yesterday’s report from the Manitowoc County Health Department, 246 people have recovered, and 218 cases are still active. That is a jump of 21 recoveries.
