home as much as possible and only make trips when necessary.
Avoid gatherings between individuals who are not in the same household, maintain physical distancing of at least 6 feet from others, wash hands often, wear a face covering, among other suggestions.
Individuals who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should stay home as much as possible, wear a face covering in public and get tested for COVID-19.
Vulnerable individuals should continue to stay home and isolate from others in the household who return to work or other public gatherings.
Homeless individuals are urged to seek shelter and individuals whose homes are unsafe are urged to leave their homes and stay at an alternative location.
Businesses are strongly encouraged to take steps to protect their staff and continue remote work when possible. If remote work is not possible, businesses are encouraged to require masks, limit the number of people on the premises, maintain social distancing of 6 ft, adopt policies to prevent staff from entering the workplace if they display COVID-19 symptoms, increase cleaning standards, and review and adopt measures in the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation guidelines on safe business practices.
