Governor Tony Evers Official Portrait
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has issued an executive order urging all state residents to limit their public interactions.
Evers delivered a statewide address Tuesday night telling people to essentially – stay home.
Wisconsin hospitals are running out of I-C-U beds due to the exploded numbers of COVID-19 infections.
Evers isn’t requiring the limits. Calling the situation a “crisis,” the governor was emphatic while making his case on the same day the state set a new record with 7,073 positive test results.
The 66 deaths reported Tuesday are also a high-water mark for Wisconsin. At the current rate of infection, the state’s 128 available I-C-U beds would be filled in the next seven days.
