MADISON, Wisconsin – Dane County leaders issued another public health order limiting internal and external meetings.
Medical Emergency Order No. 12 goes into effect on Wednesday and basically reflects the one in force. It expires on February 10.
The order allows internal meetings of up to 10 people and limits external meetings to 50 people. Previously, Public Health Madison and Dane County limited internal meetings to 10 people and external meetings to 25 people. This request remains in effect until Tuesday.
Schools are authorized to continue with face-to-face learning for all levels of education in the order. Colleges, universities and higher education centers can also remain open, as long as each location determines a policy for safe operations.
Dane County restaurants can offer indoor seating with a 25% capacity. Restrictions remain in effect for bars and taverns.
Stores must also maintain capacity limits at 50%. Some stores, if large enough, should also have special hours for vulnerable individuals. Product sampling is not allowed.
Academies can continue classes indoors, as long as physical distance can be maintained at all times. Indoor gym classes are limited to 10 people.
Salons and spaces must limit the number of customers to 50% of the approved capacity levels. The same goes for places like bowling alleys and museums. Companies must also maintain six feet between workspaces.
The new order still requires people to use facial covers in public spaces.
Violation of the emergency order could result in a $ 1,000 fine, according to the city of Madison.
Public health orders will continue to be issued in 28-day increments, which are two incubation periods for COVID-19 disease, and are developed in response to the most recent local data.
