10 Counties Have Self-Imposed "Safer-at-Home" Restrictions

Frederica Freyberg:

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial launch of summer and one of the busiest tourist weekends in Wisconsin. This year, the landscape looks a bit different as the impact of coronavirus can be felt across the state. As you can see by this map, more than 10 Wisconsin counties have self-imposed restrictions in place based on the “safer at home” order. Those restrictions impact what businesses can open. Seven of Wisconsin’s 11 tribal communities also still have restrictions. The doors of businesses have swung wide open in the vast majority of the state and it is yet to be seen the impact that could have on the fight against COVID-19.
