A man in a long-term care facility in Ozaukee County has died from COVID-19, better known as coronavirus.
The man died in the memory care unit at Village Pointe Commons in Grafton on Thursday. Officials say he had underlying health conditions and tested positive for COVID-19 post-mortem.
The Washington Ozaukee Public Health Department is closely monitoring the developing situation.
Officials say, as of right now, there are three other residents from the same unit who have tested positive for COVID-19 with additional tests pending. One caregiver has also tested positive. They are isolated at home and have not worked in the facility since March 14th.
The Washington Ozaukee Public Health Department is working closely with Village Pointe Commons leadership to make sure all individuals who came in contact with positive residents and caregivers are notified, excluded from work, and monitoring symptoms.
