MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) — The state Supreme Court ruling striking down the “Safer at Home” extension statewide won’t end the restrictions in Dane County.
Soon after the decision was handed down, Public Health Madison & Dane County issued a statement declaring health officials would use its own authority to issue an order that implements portions of the now-defunct Safer at Home order.
Its new order will utilize all regulations enacted by the “Safer at Home” extension, except churches will be treated as essential businesses. That means they will be allowed to operate at 25 percent capacity.
