The Democrat governor of Wisconsin declared a new public health emergency in response to a rise in COVID-19 cases across the state that is centered around college campuses, requiring the mandatory use of face coverings.

“We need folks to start taking this seriously, and young people especially—please stay home as much as you are able, skip heading to the bars, and wear a mask whenever you go out. We need your help to stop the spread of this virus, and we all have to do this together,” Gov. Tony Evers said in a statement.
