On Monday, May 11, 2020 Gov. Tony Evers announced another turn of the dial on Safer at Home to add even more opportunities for Wisconsin businesses to get back to work in a safe and responsible way.
Emergency Order #36, signed Monday, May 11, 2020, by Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Secretary- designee Andrea Palm, allows all stand-alone or stripmall based retail stores to offer in-person shopping for up to five customers at a time while maintaining required social distancing practices.
All businesses must continue to follow all safety precautions and guidelines as outlined in the Safer at Home order.
Monday’s order builds upon the Safer at Home order and the last turn of the dial through Emergency Order #34, which together allowed golf courses to operate, aesthetic and optional lawn and construction services provided by a single employee, curbside pick-up for public libraries, and every business to provide deliveries, mailings, and curbside pickup and drop-off services.
