todayMarch 21, 2020

A doctor in the SSM Health system that operates in and around Madison has tested positive for COVID-19.   SSM Health said in a statement Friday that the doctor was not showing symptoms during their last encounter with patients, but as symptoms developed the doctor self-quarantined and was tested.   The health system says it is following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and working with the local health departments to identify and contact all staff and patients who may have come into contact with the doctor.  Earlier this week, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa said that one of its doctors had tested positive, resulting in testing of about 200 patients and staff.
