The surge in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in Wisconsin reach frightening new heights, closing in on daily case counts near 4,000 this week. Meanwhile, dueling court rulings over COVID response in Wisconsin. This week, separate judges both upheld the mask mandate and blocked limits on crowds in establishments. This coming Monday, the state health secretary is expected to appear before the judge in the Sawyer County case to defend the state order to place a 25% capacity limit at places like restaurants and bars, an order the Tavern League of Wisconsin calls a de facto closure. The temporary block of the state’s order prompted swift reaction from Governor Tony Evers.
Tony Evers:
Just because some folks out there want to see full bars and full hospitals doesn’t mean we have to listen. The longer it takes for folks to take this virus seriously, the longer it will take to get our economy and our communities back on track. We want to get back to enjoying our favorite bars and restaurants, public events and some sense of normal, then we need you to stay home.
