Wednesday, October 6th, 2021 -- 8:05 AM

(Terry Bell, WRN) Wisconsin’s public health officials are reaching out again to people who’ve been close to someone who’s tested positive for the coronavirus.

The Department of Health Services is re-launching its contact tracing text program. Acting health secretary Karen Timberlake says people who’ve tested positive will get a call from a contact tracer, while people who’ve been in close contact will get a text.

The message will start with ‘Health Alert.’ D-H-S is asking people not to ignore the messages.
