North Shore Health Department reports 16 COVID-19 cases; 4 have recovered

MILWAUKEE -- Officials with the North Shore Health Department on Monday, March 23 announced a total of 16 positive cases of the novel coronavirus in the North Shore, and said four people recovered.

Governor Tony Evers on Monday issued a “Safer at Home” order, closing all non-essential businesses throughout the state in an effort to minimize social contact and stop the spread of COVID-19.

“People across our state are still out and about unnecessarily…putting our friends, our neighbors, and our communities at risk,” Gov. Evers said. “Please #StayHome and help us save lives. We also need folks to limit their interactions to the same people, not different small groups. Shrinking your circle of interactions will help prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
