On July 30, 2020, Wisconsin joined 31 other states-including Alabama, California, and Pennsylvania-with a statewide face covering
order. Governor Tony Evers issued Emergency Order #1, requiring all individuals
in Wisconsin over the age of five and medically able to do so to
don cloth face coverings (not including face shields or mesh
coverings) any time they are "indoors or in an enclosed space,
other than a private residence," and in the presence of others
outside their households. The governor's office also released a
set of frequently asked questions, addressing issues
such as who is tasked with enforcing the order (state and local
officials) and whether the order applies to businesses and office
spaces specifically (yes, unless an exception applies). The order
will take effect on August 1, 2020, and expire on September 28,
2020, absent a subsequent superseding emergency order.
