COVID-19 is not slowing down. We have to get this virus under control, and we cannot do that if folks continue to go about their lives as usual. We need Wisconsinites to wear a mask if they have to go out, but right now, the bottom line is that we need folks to stay home. https://twitter.com/DHSWI/status/1311380402804674560
