Governor Tony Evers has called for better availability of the Pfizer vaccine in Wisconsin. Yesterday the state was informed that rather than the 49,725 doses of vaccine that were expected next week the state will only receive 35,100. 

Governor Evers recently announced that the state will be rolling out a contact tracing app for COVID-19 exposures, to be called WI Exposure Notification. This app uses Bluetooth connections to other cell phone users to keep track of what other app users you have been in close contact with. The application is totally voluntary and must be enabled on each cell phone individually.
