According to the CDC, Milwaukee County is now listed as "high" level of COVID-19 community spread. The Milwaukee Health Department has issued a mask advisory for the city of Milwaukee.

The "high" COVID-19 level is based on three indicators: New cases per 100,000 people in the last seven days, new hospital admissions with COVID-19 per 100,000 people in the last seven days, and percent of inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients.

The health department recommends all individuals, regardless of vaccination status or past COVID-19 infection, wear a mask at all times when indoors and in a public setting.

‍Effective May 26, 2022, all employees are required to wear a mask while working in our East and West Independent Living Residences. We are encouraging all residents and visitors to wear masks when not in their apartment. 

At this time we have one resident in the East Residence and six residents in the West Residence who are in isolation due to a positive COVID-19 test. We will continually monitor the number of cases and provide you with updates. At this time, no other restrictions are in place. 

‍If you are not feeling well, it is essential that you stay in your apartment and call Nurse Lee immediately. Lee can be reached at 414-259-4681. If your visitor is not feeling well, please reschedule your visit.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.
