Wisconsin now has confirmed COVID-19 cases in every county. The governor emphasized that this is no time to stop following social distancing rules.
The money from the CARES act is being used to improve testing and tracing, health care improvements, a small business grant program, rental assistance, direct payments to Wisconsin farmers, and to prevent food insecurity. Today there was an announcement of a 100 million dollar program for health care facilities in the state. The new grants will be in two phases and will cover costs directly related to COVID-19.
