Alternate official copy: evers.wi.gov/Documents/COVID19/2020_02_04 FebFaceCovering.pdf. NOW, THEREFORE, I, TONY EVERS, Governor... Section 323.12', the Governor's Emergency Order #1 of Feb. 4, 2021 (case counts 'as of February 3, 2021'); § 2 remains to be transcribed into operative_clause_verbatim, which is still empty and must not be quoted until transcribed).
