Health officials continue to struggle with contact tracing from those testing positive for COVID-19. Health department administrator Judy Wissel says cooperation with contact tracing is crucial in stemming the recent spike in cases…
In response to a question Monday night from county board chairman Tim Hocking, Wissel said her office is having issues with people who are supposed to be on quarantine still going out in public. While there’s not much that can be done legally, Wissel said her office still contacts the individuals stressing the importance of remaining under quarantine for the appropriate time. There have even been times law enforcement has been asked to stop by a person’s residence to remind them of the quarantine.
Yesterday, the health department reported two new positive COVID-19 cases in Wabash County, bringing the total number of cases to 87 with two individuals continuing to be treated at a regional hospital.
