OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The City of Oshkosh is encouraging residents to wear face coverings to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
At a common council meeting last week, Oshkosh Mayor Lori Palmeri issued a proclamation encouraging the use of face coverings in the city, according to a news release.
While the proclamation is not a mandatory requirement, it seeks to “prevent exposure to and spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus by strongly encouraging the use of face coverings by persons within the City of Oshkosh by those persons able to wear cloth face coverings.”
The proclamation goes on to say that “all persons who are present within the jurisdiction of the City of Oshkosh are strongly encouraged to wear a clean face covering anytime they are or will be in contact with other people who are not household members in public or private spaces where it is not possible to maintain social distance or where recommended social distancing practices are not being followed.”
Visitors of the Oshkosh City Hall, which reopened Monday, are strongly encouraged to wear face coverings, according to the release. Residents are also encouraged to limit contact by using online sources on the city’s website and the drop box in front of city hall.
