Governor Evers extends Wisconsin's Safer at Home order through Tuesday, May 26:
FAQ Here
April 15th: Governor Evers released a statement following the Wisconsin State Senate's passage of COVID-19 response legislation.
“My pen has been waiting for weeks to sign legislation that guarantees Wisconsin will capture our fair share of federal dollars under the CARES Act and ensures workers experiencing unemployment and underemployment won’t be forced to wait an extra week for needed benefits to kick in. This bill is finally a step in the right direction, but there is much more work to be done."
Wisconsin is starting to see Safer at Home measures pay off – the curve is beginning to flatten: Thank you to everyone that is staying home and taking the proper precautions to slow the spread. We have seen fewer cases, hospitalizations and deaths because of the Safer at Home order than was projected at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. These measures are working, but we can't let up yet!
Governor Evers reminds Wisconsinites of options for religious gatherings and services: Press Release
Community transmission of COVID-19 is occurring in the communities of the North Shore: Everyone should assume they could be at risk of exposure to COVID-19 when out in public settings. The NSHD highly recommends, under the guidance of the WI Department of Health Services (DHS) and the CDC, that North Shore residents stay home unless it is absolutely necessary to leave for essential functions, such as grocery shopping, pharmacy visits or medical appointments.
