MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is going to self-quarantine for 14 days after he said he came in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, better known as the coronavirus.
"I have been informed I came in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19," said Mayor Barrett in a statement. "I have consulted with public health officials and they have recommended 14 days of self-quarantine and therefore that’s what I will be doing. I am following best practices by self-isolating. In an effort to maintain social distancing the last several days, I have been continuing my duties and responsibilities by teleconference and videoconference and I expect to do the same during this time of self-quarantine."
