MILWAUKEE- For the sixth time since the pandemic began the City of Milwaukee is offering a new set of public health guidelines.
In documents released this (Thursday) morning, restaurants and bars will see an increase in capacity limits as well as a relaxing of social distancing guidelines. The order also lifts the restriction on visitors at long-term care facilities.
“The Phase 6 order reflects several COVID-19 trends including the reduced presence of the disease in Milwaukee and the lower percentage of positive COVID-19 test results,” Milwaukee Health Commissioner Kirsten Johnson said in a statement. “While we are taking a step forward, we are doing that cautiously because COVID-19 is still a dangerous threat in our city.”
