Some of our patrons are asking when we will turn on our drinking fountains again. Today our county health department released a new situation report with a link to an interactive map on the DHS website https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/vaccine-data.htm#map that shows vaccination rates across Wisconsin by county. Kenosha County remains below 50% fully vaccinated. Until that number climbs to 70% we would be irresponsible to offer a shared standard drinking fountain to the public where multiple mouths may touch the same spigot. What we will be doing is retrofitting existing fountains to water bottle fillers. Dan is testing a retrofit kit to see if it will work on our existing machines and provide this affordable solution.
Whether we like it or not, the pandemic continues. Let’s hope the Delta variant doesn’t find enough unvaccinated hosts to get so strong that it force us into another shutdown and significant loss of life. There are now over 3 million deaths in India alone from this virus. Please encourage everyone you know who has resisted vaccination and is medically eligible to receive the vaccine to do their part to protect children and other vulnerable people and get vaccinated. We are all in this together.
Thanks
