As health and public officials are asking people not to spend time in non-essential gatherings to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, some people were willing to spend part of their Saint Patrick’s Day Weekend out and about at restaurants and bars.
WTMJ’s Rusty Mehlberg spoke with Milwaukee resident Amanda Balundis about her experience going out with friends in downtown Milwaukee and what they did to keep themselves from exposure to COVID-19. She also explains why she would continue to go out, why it isn’t for everyone, and what she would do if restrictions are put in place to limit people from going to bars and restaurants.
