MADISON, WI- (Wisconsin Radio Network) – If you’re planning to celebrate Thanksgiving with extended family, Department of Health Services Secretary designee Andrea Palm wishes you wouldn’t
“Our situation in Wisconsin is only going to get better, if we all take steps together to change the course of this pandemic. Please stay home. Do not gather with folks that you don’t live with. Do not gather with folks that you don’t live with. Going to a friend or a relative’s house or hosting a dinner, even for Thanksgiving, are risks that we cannot afford to take as a state.”
Palm and Governor Tony Evers issued the last-minute plea to stay home on Tuesday, when for the the first time, Wisconsin reported more than 100 deaths from COVID-19 in a single day. Hospitals remain stressed, although the number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Tuesday — 1,986 — marked the fourth straight day below 2,000 hospitalized patients reported.
