      Last spring at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, experts warned that there will likely be a resurgence of the disease come fall.

It appears that prediction has come to pass as Racine County and the state continue to see sharp increases in the number of cases.

It remains to be seen whether the uptick is the result of cooler weather and more indoor activity or lax attitudes toward prevention or a combination of the two.

The surge in coronavirus cases in the general population and in local schools is the lead story in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press.

The newspaper will be on sale at area retail outlets on Thursday. Subscribers will receive their copies with Thursday’s mail. To arrange for weekly delivery click here: SUBSCRIBE
