It’s Friday in Milwaukee, and here are some things we think you should know about as the nation grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you would like your event to be considered for this column, please email info@milwaukeenns.org and put “5 things” in the subject line by noon Thursday.

1. New cooling center at North Division High School: Friday, July 10
Earlier this week, the City of Milwaukee Health Department opened North Division High School, 1011 W. Center St., as a cooling center. The center will be open from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, July 10. People are asked to enter through the Milwaukee Recreation doors, which are next to the tennis courts.
