Marinette County Public Health joined a number of other departments to recommend people wear fae coverings without a mandate in place.

“The State Supreme Court’s ruling was about the Governor’s authority. It was not about the need to still wear face coverings,” said Molly Bonjean, Marinette County Public Health Officer. “We still need to wear face coverings because the disease activity in Wisconsin is still high and the majority of our residents have not been vaccinated yet. We are asking everyone to do their part to help prevent the spread.”

Marinette County continues to require all employees and visitors entering Marinette County Facilities to wear a face covering in all publicly accessible areas which includes, but is not limited to, hallways, bathrooms, courtrooms and all other meeting rooms until further notice.

Fond du Lac and Kewaunee Counties issued similar recommendations Thursday morning.
