WI DHS offers updated guidance for spring and summer activities

MADISON, Wis. - The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) updated on Friday, April 2 its Staying Safe in Your Community webpage to include recommendations for both fully vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

A news release from DHS says the webpage now includes guidance for a variety of spring and summer activities, as well as guidelines for attending or hosting gatherings.

Whether or not you are fully vaccinated, if you choose to attend or host a gathering, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of catching or spreading COVID-19:

• Keep the gathering small, preferably with only one other household.
• Hold the gathering outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
• Clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces throughout the gathering.
• Frequently wash your hands before and after touching shared surfaces.
• Avoid crowds and large events.
• Avoid gathering if you are sick or think you may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
