Wisconsin households are eligible for a final opportunity to order free tests through the Say Yes! COVID Test website while supplies last. Each test kit includes five rapid antigen tests, for a total of 10 self-tests. Self-testing allows for quick results to help people make decisions about their health to prevent spreading the virus to others and protect the health of their community.

DHS has been offering free at-home iHealth COVID-19 tests to all Wisconsin households through the Say Yes! COVID Test program since September 2022. On January 11, 2023, the FDA extended the expiration dates on iHealth brand COVID-19 at-home tests from 12 months to 15 months (a 3-month extension). If your tests appear to be past their expiration date, you can use the lot number on the test package to look up the current expiration date on the FDA list by visiting: https://bit.ly/41VzoUO.
Congratulations!
The federal government has announced the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency will end May 11. In Wisconsin, case numbers, hospitalizations, and deaths from COVID-19 are significantly lower than they were during the surge in late 2021 and early 2022, and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has been making plans to move away from an emergency response to the virus.

The Riverview Character Education Committee recently presented April’s Community Character Trait Award Bank First and BMO Harris Bank for Integrity. Bank First and BMO Harris Bank are banks in our local community. Employees at the bank show integrity in many ways. Integrity means be-ing honest even when no one is looking. Banks need integrity in their employees because they work with money every single day. Other things they need to do are count money correctly, keep track of the money, and make sure it gets to the place it needs to be. Sometimes they do these jobs as a team and sometimes they do these jobs alone. When employees show integri-ty, adults in our community will trust the bank and want to save their money there. It’s im-portant that employees who work at banks also keep people’s information confidential, which means keeping a secret and not sharing people’s addresses and phone numbers. Working with large amounts of money, showing teamwork, and building trust in the community are all the reasons why BMO Harris Bank and Bank First are a perfect fit for our Community Character Trait Award.
Congratulations, Alianna!
