More than a dozen statewide groups are joining together to urge people to help get the COVID-19 surge under control.
Wisconsin Hospital Association President Eric Borgerding says the condition of the state’s pandemic is visible in the “alarming” increase in new cases, and the setting of new daily records for hospitalizations, almost every day over the past month.
He says the number of coronavirus patients in hospitals has tripled in the past month.
The state’s largest business group, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, is another organization in the “Stop the COVID Spread” coalition. The State Medical Society, Wisconsin Restaurant Association, and Wisconsin Grocers Association are also involved.
