As of June 1, 2021, the Moving Milwaukee Forward Health Order has expired along with the requirements of the existing Milwaukee mask ordinance.

What does this mean for you?

Per CDC guidance, due to the transmissible nature of the Delta variant, masks are strongly encouraged for all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, in public, indoor settings. Masks are not currently mandated by the Milwaukee Health Department, but many businesses and buildings still require masking. Learn more about the changes on our Frequently Asked Questions page.

The best way to stop the community spread of COVID-19 is to take preventative action to protect yourself and others:

• Get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can. Vaccines are safe and readily available at walk-in clinics throughout the community for anyone over the age of 12 years old.
• Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others, and stay at least 6 feet apart from others who don’t live with you.
• Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces, and improve ventilation whenever possible.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
