County Executive Tom Nelson applauded the Thursday’s executive order.
“Outagamie County fully supports the Governor’s executive action to implement a statewide mask ordinance,” Nelson said. “Cases are on the rise and with no sign of abating. When it comes to the fight against the pandemic we have a five-word strategy: six feet and a mask. This is a sensible and critical step in handling the pandemic.”
Masks may be obtained by visiting the Outagamie County Website.
“It is incumbent upon local governments like counties to give out citizens the means to follow the mask
requirement,” Nelson said
. “What good is a mask ordinance if you don’t have a mask?”
