Governor Evers Defends Mask Mandates

Monday, March 8th, 2021 -- 12:00 PM

(WBAY) Governor Tony Evers was in Manitowoc Friday morning highlighting the county’s success in getting people vaccinated.

“Well oiled machine is the first thing that comes to my mind,” Evers said. “Everyone is ready.”  He was also joined by Interim Secretary of the Department of Health Services Karen Timberlake.

According to DHS, Wisconsin ranks third in the nation for the number of doses administered and first in the Upper Midwest for the number of vaccine doses administered per capita.

As some states rollback their mask mandates, Governor Evers defended his emergency orders as tools that rely on science.  The state supreme court is considering whether he has the authority to continue issuing emergency orders.

DHS Interim Secretary Timberlake said in communities where Covid-19 cases are still high visitations should be limited and rely on guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Yet, some facilities where people are vaccinated have begun to loosen restrictions.
