Safe Practices Guidelines Updated 02/17/2021 February 17th Letter to North Shore Residents and Community Leaders NSHD is moving from our Phased Reopening Model to a longer-term plan of Safe Practices Guidelines. These guidelines align with other suburban municipalities in Milwaukee County, along with the elements outlined in the City of Milwaukee’s Business COVID Safety Plan for restaurant and bars. Safe Practices Detailed Guidelines Safe Practices Table Key aspects of NSHD’s Safe Practice Guidelines include: Public gatherings limited to 50 people; Occupancy limits for restaurants and bars at a capacity where the number of individuals allows for maintenance of physical distancing and protective measures; and Occupancy limits for retail establishments, salons and spa services, and gyms and places of amusement where the number of individuals allows for maintenance of physical distancing and protective measures. Gating Criteria: Cases: Trajectory of the ratio of COVID-positive tests Testing: Testing availability for all residents with COVID-19 symptoms Care: Hospitals’ ability to treat all patients requiring hospitalization without resorting to crisis standards Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Adequate PPE available for healthcare personnel and first responders Tracing: Ability to count, trace, and monitor COVID-19 cases and outbreaks in real time The current status for each of the gating criteria can be found in the table to the right and more information is available on the MKE County Office of Emergency Management Dashboard under the “Key Indicators” tab.
