After a few members of the center tested positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 18, the Chippewa County Department of Public Health made the request that the center close for two weeks out of an abundance of caution for the elderly people who regularly visit the facility. The senior center planned to reopen Tuesday, Feb. 1, but after Omicron variant numbers began to rise in Chippewa County, the health department asked the facility to remain closed until at least Monday, Feb. 14.
“Members who recently tested positive, don’t give up, stay strong, and we wish you well,” the senior center wrote in a Facebook post Thursday morning.
