The Wausau Police Department will be a little short handed after an officer tested positive for COVID-19.
According to a statement on Facebook, the Wausau Police Department got word of the positive test on Monday. They’ve made a list of community members who may have been in close contact with the officer, and are working with the Marathon County Health Department to contact those people.
Officers exposed will not to return to work until their quarantine period has expired. The Wausau Police Department says it will strain their staff for the next two weeks, but has the highest likelihood of keeping employees and citizens healthy.
