GREEN BAY (NBC 26) -- The Brown County Department of Health Services is reporting over 90 cases of COVID-19. On Sunday, the case count was 68. These new numbers come only six days after the in-person spring election.
"It is still too early to tell is the election is what caused some of the new cases," said Dr. Brad Burmiester from Bellin Health. "It certainly did not help the issue."
Tuesday night, many in Green Bay rushed to just two locations to cast a ballot. Many did not observe social distancing rules.
"It is something we will defintely have to look into," said Claire Paprocki with the Health Department. "We will be asking people if they voted and take note of their response.
Dr. Burmiester said symptoms can develop anywhere between 2-14 days after contracting COVID-19. The average amount of days usually is between 5-7. The spring election was 6 days ago.
"This is a community problem," Burmiester said. "All it takes is one person to have to give it to someone else."
Dr. Burmiester said if you plan on going outside, wear a mask and wash your hands frequently.
