Health officials stress that this is an advisory and not a requirement or public health order, but that does not mean it’s less important.
“The fact that this is an advisory is not a reason to take it lightly,” PHMDC director Janel Heinrich said during a virtual press conference Tuesday. “Let me be clear: the Delta variant is spreading rapidly in our county and could increase severe outcomes in our county if left unchecked.”
The recommendation follows the latest guidance from the CDC, which recommended masks for everyone in areas of high COVID transmission as cases surge across the country and the Delta variant continues to spread. Local health officials say the Delta variant is the dominant strain of COVID in Dane County right now.
