The Brown County Board appears to be building the COVID-19 response

ASHWAUBENON – One of the first orders for the new one Brown County Board will review the county’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

County Board member Megan Borchardt of Green Bay has asked the county’s Human Services Department for a report on successes and opportunities for improvement in how Brown County responded to Public health the needs of the county residents. The goal, the supervisor said, was to continue to do what the county had done well, while improving where improvements were needed.

“We know there is an action plan and it will continue to be updated,” Borchardt said. County health officials said they are planning further updates to the plan later in the spring.

In March, members of the Human Services Committee discussed a number of successes in the county’s response, including areas where the county’s response had started slowly but had grown to a strength. In other areas, officials said, Brown County’s response later became a best practice adopted by a number of counties.
