Chippewa County coroner s office busy as COVID deaths climb

For Chippewa County Coroner Ron Patten, that means his four-person office has been busier than ever. “We have to wear personal protective equipment; it takes a little more time,” Patten said Monday. “We have to be cautious so we don’t get it. And there is extra paperwork with COVID cases. It’s just part of the job. The hours we put in are just longer.” Every person who dies in the county is now tested for COVID-19, adding more work for Patten and his staff. In an average year, Chippewa County sees 850 deaths, or nearly three daily. So, adding in COVID-19 deaths over the past two months has made a notable increase in their cases.
