Gov. Tony Evers Addresses the State on COVID-19

Published | Video Starts at 08:03

Here's the bottom line. The federal CARES dollars we received earlier this year expire on December 31st. That means Unless we get additional support from Congress, our state will have to foot the bill for our response after the new year. So please contact your Congressperson and ask them to provide additional support and resources for our state's response to this virus. We must be able to continue all our efforts to keep people healthy and safe. (08:03–08:11)
