Advocacy Alert: PHASE TWO ORDER AMENDED
In response to the recent spike in positive COVID-19 cases, Public Health Madison & Dane County (PHMDC) announced an amended Forward Dane Phase Two order this morning. This new order takes effect at 8 a.m. tomorrow, July 2 and the restrictions will remain in place for at least a month.
The changes include:
- Mass gatherings, defined as a planned event with a large number of individuals in attendance, are now limited to 25 people outdoors, while the limit remains 10 people indoors. Indoor mass gathering limits now match those from Phase One, but the outdoor limits are below Phase One levels. Commercial facilities no longer have a unique gathering limit.
- Restaurants, which were limited to seated service only by the previous order, are now once again limited to 25 percent capacity for indoor dining. Outdoor dining must be seated and is subject to physical distancing requirements and restaurant dining capacity.
- Bars, which were also limited to seated service only by the previous order, are now limited to takeout only for indoor service. Outdoor service must be seated and is subject to physical distancing requirements and bar service capacity.
- Group fitness classes are now subject to mass gathering limits, in addition to the previous physical distancing requirements. This means indoor classes may have no more than 10 participants and outdoor classes are limited to 25 people.
Based on information gleaned from recent contact tracing interviews, Public Health will be stepping up enforcement for these targeted changes. Please review the order for more details on business requirements.To enhance safety, businesses are required to have hygiene, cleaning and protective measure policies and documented staff receipt or training in place before reopening and should incorporate general and sector-specific best practices, encourage remote work as much as possible, accommodate sick employees, assist contact tracers, and know what to do when an employee that tests positive. Customers should follow Public Health recommendations for shopping and visiting establishments.
If you have questions about issues impacting your business, please continue to submit them through our Q&A portal here and our staff and team of regional partners will work to get you an answer. All responses are posted on our website here.
