Operative words

The new Public Health Order Phase 6 supersedes Order #4.4 which was in place for the past six weeks.... general provisions regarding safe business practices and protective measures remain in place. That includes masking, social distancing, surface cleaning, and policies to restrict employees who have been exposed to the disease or show COVID-19 symptoms. The Milwaukee Health Department will continue to enforce the order, and citations with potentially large fines will be issued for order violations.

Enforcement

Citations with fines (stated)

Notes

Sets out the revised gating criteria (Phase 7 low; Phase 6 moderate; Phase 5 substantial; Phase 4.4 high; Phase 4.5 extreme).
