Meanwhile, supervisors heard from Winneshiek Med-ical Center’s Lynn Luloff and Lisa Radtke that the hospital took a hit in 2020, primarily stemming from March, April and May.

WMC had been on a path to breaking even early in 2020.

With the new fiscal year, the hospital is on track in its first quarter for a gain of over $1 million.

Public Health Director Krista Vanden Brink briefed supervisors Monday.

The public health direc-tor was asked about high case numbers lately in Wisconsin, at the same time as a manda-tory mask mandate there for months.

Current numbers in Winne-shiek County are pretty steady.

Vanden Brink pointed to a phenomenon of “mask fa-tigue.”

While people were original-ly more willing to wear masks, support is waning.

“And now they’re tired of this,” said Vanden Brink.
