MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee County and City of Milwaukee leaders on Tuesday, Jan. 5 said they are starting to see a concerning increase in positive COVID-19 tests following the holidays.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said Department of Public Works (DPW) employees are already at work, bringing refrigeration units to the Wisconsin Center that would be used to give the vaccine to thousands.
