SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) – No final decisions have yet been made by Sheboygan County government to issue orders that would replace “Safer at Home.” When the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the extension of Governor Evers’ executive order as unconstitutional, it was left up to local governments to issue their own restrictions to control the spread of COVID-19. Dane County issued just such an order immediately after the Supreme Court ruling.
Sheboygan County Administrator Adam Payne responded to email questions from WHBL news late last night, saying that the court’s order is being reviewed and legal counsel is being sought. He said, “Fortunately, we started preparing a contingency plan for this possibility, and have guidelines and best practices that we can disseminate (very consistent with a lot of guidance that has already been shared).”
Meetings will be held this morning but, at this juncture, no final decisions have been made in how Sheboygan County will respond. Payne said, “All public and private organizations will need to be mindful of social distancing and other best practices in order to protect their employees and customers alike. The sky is not falling”.
