KENOSHA — As emergency rooms fill up in many hospitals across the country, the Kenosha Community Health Center (KCHC) is reminding people that it is open to treat and assess less-urgent medical needs.
There are multiple KCHC facilities throughout Kenosha County. You can call (262) 656-0044 for an appointment.
The call to avoid emergency rooms unless you are in serious risk is a widespread call. Milwaukee County health officials implored people not to visit emergency rooms just for a COVID test. Rooms are full and unable to accommodate the surge of patients.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services'COVID-19 dashboardrecorded 8,058 confirmed cases on Monday. That's compared to the previous daily record of 7,870 cases on Nov. 17, 2020.
