DOOR COUNTY (NBC 26) -- Door County has issued new guidelines that replace its previous Safer at Home order. The new guidelines allow the county to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The guidelines include basic recommendations for everyone:
- Physical distance, maintaining six (6) feet between people.
- Wear cloth face coverings (masks) when out in public.
- Practice good hand hygiene: wash your hands with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer, especially after touching frequently used items/surfaces.
- Clean/sanitize frequently touched surfaces.
- Avoid going to places where safety measures are not in place.
- If you are sick, stay home and call your healthcare provider about testing.
- Limit travel to reduce the potential for virus transmission.
Businesses are strongly encouraged to review, become and remain familiar with, and comply with the WEDC, CDC, WDHS and OSHA guidelines and recommendations.
Compliance with these regulations are encouraged, but the county said they are voluntary.
"Verified complaints of persistent non-compliance may be investigated. If substantiated, a notice and an opportunity to correct will be provided. If non-compliance persists a targeted order may be issued under Sec. 252.03, Wis. Stats," the county says in a statement on the guidelines.
These new guidelines will remain in effect until a new order is issued. To read the full guidelines, click here.
