GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — There are now 58 total cases of the COVID-19 Coronavirus in Brown County, and one person has died.
The deceased is a 58-year-old man. His death was announced late Thursday afternoon. No further information was available as of press time.
The latest numbers from state health officials are five higher than yesterday’s count of 53. They include five cases in the Oneida nation, and four cases brought in from out-of-county.
18 cases are out of isolation and their symptoms are improving.
Brown County Health Department Spokesman Ted Shove says most patients have voluntarily complied with self-isolation and quarantine orders, but that “one or two” had not.
“They might have been out for an hour,” Shove said. “Our staff looked at where they were at and the risk of exposure to anyone they may have had contact with.”
Contact tracing was performed in each case, but details of further possible exposure were not released.
