Late yesterday Governor Tony Evers confirmed that two COVID-19 patients in Wisconsin have died. The first death was a male in his 50s from Fond Du Lac County. The second death was a male in his 90s from Ozaukee County. 

“Our hearts go out to all the loved ones affected by these deaths, and to all those suffering from this virus,” said Gov. Evers. “We are committed to fighting the spread of COVID-19 in Wisconsin and I want to recognize the hard work and bravery of our nurses, doctors, state health officials, and all those on the front lines in the effort to save lives. Together we will get through this historic health challenge.”
