Gov. Evers Releases Statement on Denial of Temporary Injunction Request for State's Public Gathering Limits
 
MADISON —​ Gov. Tony Evers today released the following statement regarding the circuit court's denial of a request by the Tavern League of Wisconsin to grant a temporary injunction on Emergency Order #3,  limiting public gatherings to 25 percent of a building or room's capacity. 

“This critically important ruling will help us prevent the spread of this virus by restoring limits on public gatherings. This crisis is urgent. Wisconsinites, stay home. Limit travel and going to gatherings, and please wear a face covering whenever you have to go out.
