This is a targeted amendment to address what we are learning during contact tracing interviews. In the last few days, 279 individuals tested positive for COVID-19. Half of these cases involve individuals who are ages 20-29. 45% of the positive cases stated that they had attended a gathering, party or meeting with people from outside their household. Further, contract tracing efforts reveal that many of these individuals frequented bars.

Today, Public Health Madison & Dane County has released Order #5, which goes into effect on June 15, 2020 at 8:00am and moves Dane County to Phase 2 of the Forward Dane plan. See our news release for more information.
New orders mean that we feel our community is prepared to move to a new phase, but that doesn’t mean the risk has changed. The virus is still as dangerous as it has been. Even as businesses reopen, community members should take precautions and be mindful that their actions affect others. We still encourage everyone to limit the amount of people they are seeing day to day, stay 6 feet away from people they don’t live with, wear face coverings when out of the house, and get tested if they need to.
A summary of highlights from this Phase 2 order include:
You can find Order #5 on our website.
