MADISON – Governor Tony Evers announced that in just over six months, the death toll from COVID-19 in Wisconsin has exceeded 1,000 people. This devastating news comes at a time when the Evers government has issued emergency order No. 1, which requires the use of facial blankets in reaction to the recent buildup of new infections. Since early July, the average number of deaths and the average of seven days for new instances have increased.
“Even a death by COVID-19 is too much,” Governor Evers said. “To all the people of Wisconsin who face the loss of a circle of family members, members, friends, colleagues or neighbors, I express my deepest condolences. Know that our hearts and minds are with you, and we will continue to do everything we can to fight this virus. that has already claimed the lives of many other people in our state.
On July 9, the average of seven days, only two reported deaths consistent with the day, but nearly a month later, the average of seven days, 8 reported deaths consistent with the day. Of wisconsin’s 72 counties, 52 reported at least one coVID-19 death.
“COVID-19 is provided in both one and both corners of Wisconsin, and it’s up to us to make our component to prevent spread,” said Andrea Palm, designated secretary of the Wisconsin Health Services Decompotor (DHS). “Wrapping the virus will help you avoid deaths, and that means following the most productive public fitness practices: staying at home, dressing in a cloth or mask mask, practicing physical distance and washing your hands well.”
As Wisconsin takes this devastating step, Wisconsinns take care of their emotional and intellectual fitness as a component of their overall fitness and well-being. In April, DHS introduced the Resilient Wisconsin initiative to provide methods to reduce tension and behavioral fitness resources.
“I know that the news of 1,000 deaths in Wisconsin affected me and all of us at DHS, as did the rest of the state,” said Robin Matthies, Head of the Trauma and Resilience Program at the Division of Public Health. “Please ask for help if you are suffering with this news, or with any other stressors, due to COVID-19 or whatever. The practice of non-public attention is not self-centered, it is a smart fitness practice, as well as washing your hands and covering your face. »
DHS continues to largely monitor knowledge to better perceive how the virus affects our communities. If you have symptoms, even mild ones, or if you’ve been in contact with who tested positive, get a check.
