Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on July 30, 2020, issued an Emergency Order (Order) requiring every individual in the state of Wisconsin, age five and older, to wear face coverings when indoors. As discussed below, some exceptions, however, may apply to employees in certain situations.

Specifically, individuals covered by the Order must wear a face covering when:

  • They are indoors or in an enclosed space (as defined in the order), other than a private residence; and
  • Another person or persons who are not members of the individual's household or living unit are present in the same room or enclosed space.

Employees working alone in an enclosed space, such as a private office, are not required to wear a mask.
