Stop the COVID Spread! Coalition
Wisconsin is facing a COVID-19 crisis, and our state MUST come together to help stop community spread. Rates of COVID-19 infection are continuing to rise at an alarming pace in Wisconsin, and additional public awareness is urgently needed about the seriousness of the pandemic and the critical need for preventative measures.
“Stop the Covid Spread!” is a coalition of Wisconsin’s leading health care, business, and advocacy organizations along with prominent individuals who have joined together to urge the public to take preventative measures seriously so that we can all continue to safely participate in Wisconsin’s economy. We are asking YOU to:
WASH YOUR HANDS WEAR A MASK SOCIAL DISTANCE
Employing preventative measures is not a partisan or geographic issue. Wisconsin is going in the wrong direction on COVID, but it’s not too late to turn it around. Employing preventative measures is the simplest way that the public can help us keep our state’s health care system stable and accessible, protect the health and safety of essential workers, and prevent further shutdown of Wisconsin businesses and economic functions. If we all work together, we can help stop the COVID spread.
