State public health officials are following what’s going on with the jump in coronavirus cases in Winnebago County.
Dr. Ryan Westergaard of the Department of Health Services says they’re talking with the local health department several times a day. He says they know where every person testing positive lives, and they can help with contact tracing.
There have been more than 200 new cases in Winnebago County, since May 17th.
Forty-seven percent of them are young people between 20 and 29 years old.
The county health department reports large gatherings, and the reopening of bars and restaurants, are partially to blame.
