COVID-19 RESOURCES
As more businesses open up and we are seeing more people out on the streets and back at work, we wanted to remind you of some very important things to keep you and your family healthy and help stop the spread of the virus. The southside of Milwaukee is still seeing more positive cases than any other part of the state, so it is more important than ever that we keep protecting ourselves, our families and neighbors.
 
Be Safe Out in Public:
  • Wear a mask or face covering every time you are in public. (Request disposable masks from LBWN here) 
  • Stay at least 6 feet away from others in public.
  • Bring as few people as possible with you when you go to the grocery store or other places with large groups of people.
  • Avoid gatherings with many people.
 
Wash and Clean:
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. 
  • Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth. 
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or use the inside of your elbow, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands immediately. 
  • Clean and disinfect things and surfaces you touch often using household cleaning spray or wipes. This can include tables, doorknobs, light switches, phones, etc. 

If you have any questions or think you may be sick with COVID-19, call your doctor, one of the testing sites here or 2-1-1.

CENSUS 2020
There is still time to fill out the Census! Households can now fill out the Census themselves until the end of October. In person non-response follow-up by Census Workers will happen between August 11th and October 31st.

The great thing is that ANYONE can fill out the Census. Renters, immigrants- no matter their migratory status, and anyone else can fill out the Census for their household. The information you give is CONFIDENTIAL and SAFE. 

Fill Out the Census:
  • Online at my2020census.gov
  • By Phone at 844-330-2020.
  • By Mail by mailing the questionnaire mailed out for your household.

The Census Bureau is still hiring and offering $20-$22 an hour in Milwaukee Count.
