Update on COVID-19 Outbreak from Clark County Health Department

Tuesday, March 17th, 2020 -- 1:33 PM

-The Clark County Health Department has released another update regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under the authority of Wisconsin State Statute § 252.02(3) and at the direction of Governor Tony Evers, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Secretary-designee Andrea Palm has ordered a statewide moratorium on mass gatherings of 50 or more people to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Effective today, all public and private mass gatherings are prohibited in the State of Wisconsin. This order will remain in effect for the duration of the public health emergency declared in Governor Evers’ Executive Order #72, or until a superseding order is issued. “Mass gathering” is any planned or spontaneous, public or private event or convening that will bring together or is likely to bring together 50 or more people in a single room or single confined or enclosed space at the same time. This order may include, but is not limited to mass gatherings at: public or private schools, auditoriums, theatres, movie theatres, museums, stadiums, arenas, conference rooms, meeting halls, exhibition centers, taverns, health and fitness centers, recreation centers, licensed pools, places of worship and religious gatherings.

Daycare centers are exempt. Schools are exempt until Wednesday, March 18, 2020 at 5:00 PM. “The Clark County Health Department is closely monitoring this outbreak,” said Brittany Mews, Clark County Health Department Health Officer/Director. “We are working closely with federal, state, and local partners to be prepared for any changes to the situation here and to make sure information is shared with the public.” All gatherings that bring together or are likely to bring together fewer than 50 people in a single room or confined space at the same time must operate at 50 percent of seating capacity, preserve social distancing of 6 feet between people and follow all other public health recommendations issued by the Wisconsin Department of Public Health and the Clark County Health Department.

Violation or obstruction of this order is punishable by imprisonment, fines, or both under Wisconsin State Statute § 252.25. While the risk of getting the illness remains low, people should follow simple steps to avoid getting sick including frequent and thorough handwashing with soap and water, cover coughs and sneezes, avoid touching your face, stay home when sick and practice social distancing.
