Guidelines after SCOWIS ruling on "Safer at Home" order

In light of the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling, many businesses that have been closed have chosen to open their doors, and many others will choose to open soon.  All City of Cedarburg businesses should continue to follow CDC guidelines for social distancing, cleaning and disinfecting whenever possible. They should also consider the guidelines provided by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation and Ozaukee County Health Department while consulting with their respective trade or business organizations to identify industry best practices to safely welcome back employees and customers. 

In addition, we ask that our residents continue to follow CDC guidelines of social distancing and disease prevention which includes wearing a face mask or cloth face cover when in public.

The City will adhere to the Supreme Court decision and will not issue any additional restrictions.
