We speak with area health professionals for a COVID update this week on “Newsmakers.” Guests from La Crosse, Winona and Vernon counties share their perspectives on the recent rise in cases, along with the impact of the delta variant, masking and vaccinations. Later in the program, we talk with folks from La Crosse’s Great River Folk Fest, which takes place later this month at Riverside Park.
