The UW-Madison Extension community has been keeping a close eye on developments around the COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of our staff, volunteers, program participants and communities continue to be our top priority. We know that some populations, like older adults and individuals with serious chronic medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and lung disease are increased risk of getting sick from this illness. Out of an abundance of caution for protecting participants in our programs and preventing the spread of illness, Extension is cancelling our in person summer StrongBodies classes for Merrill and Tomahawk.
