MILTON, Wis. – After Rock County Public Health Department announced it would be doing away with a county-wide mask mandate effective immediately Friday afternoon, businesses were left to make their own rules.
RCPH says while they’re following the CDC’s guidance of allowing fully-vaccinated people to remove their masks in most public settings, there are still some situations in which masks are recommended.
“There are still some requirements in place at the federal level and local level,” said Jessica Turner, a communications specialist for RCPH. “I think we’ll start to see more people that are vaccinated going without a mask, and maybe not social distancing quite as much. People will be able to be in contact with their loved ones and their friends a little more than they’ve been able to, it’s really exciting.”
