MADISON, WI - Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has declared a "safer at home" order keeping people in their homes to help fight the spread of COVID-19.
The Governor says he didn't expect to make this order, but after talking to business leaders and health officials in Wisconsin, he felt that this was the direction the state needed to go. He goes on to say that this order is to protect the most vulnerable residents and front line workers in Wisconsin.
The "safer at home" order will include all non-essential workers working from home. Wisconsin Residents will still be able to go get groceries, walk the dog or going to the doctor. The order will discourage any other travel and gatherings around the state.
Governor Evers will announce later today what time on Tuesday the order will be in effect.
