MADISON — Wisconsin has received roughly half its share of personal protective equipment allotted from a federal stockpile to ensure doctors, nurses, first responders and others have access to face masks and shields, gowns and gloves during the COVID-19 pandemic.
SHAWANO — Shawano County is looking to the state of Wisconsin for direction and possible help during the COVID-19 crisis, Emergency Manager Jim Davel reported Thursday.
“This is a health emergency, so the health department is leading this effort,” he said.
Davel said he is relying on the state Department of Health Services for directives on procuring supplies for long term care facilities, hospitals, in-home care workers, and emergency personnel.
