Mask mandate is back for Dane County starting Thursday under new public health order

Dane County again will be under an indoor mask mandate starting Thursday under a new public health order issued by Public Health Madison and Dane County.

Under the order, which takes effect at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, everyone age 2 and older in Dane County must wear a face covering or mask when in in any enclosed space open to the public where other people, except for members of the person’s own household or living unit, could be present.

Public health also strongly recommended wearing a face covering at private gatherings or crowded outdoor settings.

Businesses subject to the order are once again required to post signs notifying customers and staff of the face covering requirement, which will be in effect until 12:01 a.m. Sept. 16.

“We still believe vaccines are our best tool to protect our community,” Janel Heinrich, Director of Public Health Madison & Dane County, said in a statement. “But as cases continue to increase, requiring face coverings is an easy added layer of protection to further help keep people safe, including our youngest children not yet eligible to be vaccinated.”

So fortunate to live in Dane County!

Hope you’re safe and well! One day, when this whole “thing” is under control, we should meet up for coffee, an alcoholic beverage or a meal! Or, all three!
