The Safer at Home Order for Door County will not be extended when the public health department releases its plan moving forward in the next two days. Door County Public Health Officer Sue Powers explained during her weekly Facebook Live session with Door County Medical Center Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jim Heise that more time was needed to get a plan in place for businesses to follow after the Wisconsin Supreme Court decided the Safer at Home Order could end. The counties of Dane, Eau Claire, Green, Milwaukee, and Rock are the only other ones under some sort of Safer at Home order as of Tuesday. With help from some guiding principles laid out by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, Powers said it will take a grassroots effort to control the spread.
Heise supports the reopening of the counties, but hopes people take preventative measures like wearing a mask and practicing social distancing seriously over the next several weeks.
