Notes
A city instrument that duplicates and locally enforces the statewide Safer at Home order; it 'builds on the restrictions in Emergency Order #8 Updated Mass Gathering Ban issued by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services on March 20, 2020' and 'supersedes any previous order of the Health Commissioner.' Hotels, motels and shared rental units are treated as residences.
