Local efforts to help authorities in Door County's sister city in China deal with the COVID-19, or coronavirus, have faced some obstacles.  The mayor of Jingdezhen had asked members of the Ad Hoc Sister City Informal Advisory Group for help in getting protective clothing, masks and goggles.  County Supervisor Helen Bacon, who serves on the advisory group, says their efforts are being hampered by supply and demand worldwide.

Bacon says some trade missions from Door County to Jingdezhen scheduled for this year have now been postponed because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
