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.
