- In light of the recent spike in cases in 20-year-olds, who often work in bars and food service, we want to remind owners and operators of these establishments to review these guidelines from WEDC to keep employees and customers as safe as possible.
- Applications open on Monday for the “We’re All In” small business grant program. If you operate a small business and have been impacted by COVID-19, you may be eligible for a grant of up to $2,500. The application portal will be open Monday, June 15 through Sunday, June 21. To be eligible, you must:
- Be a Wisconsin-based, for-profit business.
- Employ 20 or fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) employees, including the owner.
- Earn greater than $0 but less than $1 million in annual revenues (gross sales and receipts).
- Have started operating prior to January 1, 2020 and have been in business in February 2020.
- Additional information on the “We’re All In” program is available on the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) website. Oshkosh area businesses may also contact the Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Corporation at Tricia.Rathermel@greateroshkosh.com or (920) 230-3326 with any questions.
- Grants for Farmers: The Governor’s Farm Support program will begin accepting applications on Monday, June 15. Eligible farmers will receive grants that range from $1,000 - $3,500. These payments will be issued after the application period closes on Monday, June 29. Farmers are encouraged to apply as soon as possible on or after June 15 to leave time for resolving any potential issues in their application. You can learn more about the Farm Support Program by visiting the Department of Revenue website.
- Use a Face Covering to Protect Others
- Wear a face covering to help protect others in case you’re infected but don’t have symptoms
- Keep the covering on your face the entire time you’re in public
- Don’t put the covering around your neck or up on your forehead
- Don’t touch the face covering, and, if you do, wash your hands
- Click here for more tips from the CDC on how to wear cloth face coverings
- REMINDER: Call your healthcare provider before going into a clinic if you are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19. This allows them to provide guidance, prepare ahead if you need to be seen, and minimize risk to others.

How to Protect Yourself from COVID-19
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating and after going to the bathroom, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
- If you do not have soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Cough or sneeze into an elbow if no tissue is available. Wash your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household disinfectant cleaning spray or wipe.
- Wear a cloth face covering in public settings.
