As we begin the holiday weekend, the Manitowoc County Health Department urges residents to avoid gatherings, events and crowded spaces.
Cases of COVID-19 have nearly doubled in Manitowoc County over the past month with 239 new cases as well as the County’s second death reported during the month of August. As people consider Labor Day plans, it’s important to remember that gatherings bring a high level of risk for getting and spreading COVID-19.
The more people an individual interacts with at a gathering, and the longer that interaction lasts, the higher the potential risk of becoming infected with and spreading COVID-19. The Health Department reminds everyone to be responsible and do their part to stop the spread of infection.
