Public health officials are asking residents to once again wear masks when they are inside public spaces.
At a joint city-county media briefing Tuesday, Mayor
Tom Barrett said that Milwaukee residents should begin wearing masks once again when they are indoors in public places. The city is not planning to issue a new mask mandate, the mayor said, but, “We certainly have the hope that Milwaukeeans will embrace masks once more.”
This is in line with the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which says that everyone, regardless of vaccination status, should wear a mask when indoors in areas experiencing substantial or high transmission.
