The head of Eau Claire’s health department says positive coronavirus tests in the city and county are “off the charts.”
Health director Lieske Giese yesterday said the county’s positivity rate is now over 18 percent. Yesterday she reported 240 new positive tests. Giese says 12 people died from or with the virus over the past week. And while most of those people are over 65 and had health conditions, she says COVID-19 is still a danger in the community.
