MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin is finally ending one of its last COVID health programs.
Wisconsin’s Department of Health says the COVID telehealth program will end on Wednesday. The program initially was supposed to end at the end of last year, but was extended until this month.
Officials say since it was launched in November of 2022, nearly 9 thousand people were able to speak to a doctor or nurse remotely. The department says these same services can still be accessed in person at a pharmacy or clinic.
The latest snapshot of COVID-19 in Wisconsin finds the virus is circulating at low levels and transmission is decreasing.
