Governor JB Pritzker has repeatedly said the personal protective equipment, or PPE’s, are being distributed by the state around all parts of Illinois. But that’s not the case…at least not in Wabash County according to health department administrator Judy Wissel…
Wissel said the health department is responsible for distributing the PPE’s to long term care facilities, group homes, essentials businesses, along with Wabash General Hospital, and the school district for use in their food distribution. Wissel’s comments came during a Zoom meeting hosted yesterday by the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce on the effects of COVID-19 locally.
