MADISON, WI (WTAQ-Wisconsin Radio Network) — Wisconsin has some of the loosest COVID-19 restrictions in the nation.
That’s according to findings from the personal-finance website WalletHub.
“Right now, Wisconsin has the second fewest COVID-19 restrictions. It’s second only to South Dakota, which is one of the state’s that never closed,” said WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez “It’s an ongoing study. We first released the week of May 5, which was obviously two months ago. That’s when Wisconsin ranked 34th.”
Less than two weeks later, the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down Governor Evers ‘Safer-At-Home’ orders as unconstitutional. Hence Wisconsin’s drop in those rankings, which Gonzalez said was the sharpest of any state.
To identify which states have the fewest coronavirus restrictions, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 18 key metrics.
