Effective March 25th, The State of Wisconsin enacted a Safer at Home directive from Governor Tony Evers. The Executive Order highlights the expectation for individuals to refrain from public interaction except to receive essential services and supplies, and for those whose jobs are to provide such services and supplies. This is part of the statewide response to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, the Federal Government has recommended that all Americans refrain from nonessential group interaction through at least April 30.
In compliance with this guidance:
