Wisconsin’s extended stay-at-home order is drawing criticism from lawmakers and law enforcement as thousands plan a protest at the state capitol in Madison.

The protest is slated for April 24, when the Department of Human Services’ order was originally supposed to expire. Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, this week told the Health Secretary Andrea Palm to extend the mandate until May 26 in a bid to slow the spread the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, a novel coronavirus that emerged from mainland China last year.
