UPDATE 11/22/20
On November 20, 2020 PHMDC amended the definition of “mass gathering” under Amended Emergency Order #10. A mass gathering is now “any gathering of individuals that are not members of the same household or living unit.”
UPDATE 11/17/20
Starting Wednesday, November 18, in Dane County, all indoor mass gatherings are banned and all outdoor mass gatherings are limited to no more than 10 individuals under Public Health Madison & Dane County (PHMDC) Emergency Order #10. Sports activities, group exercise classes, meetings, and trainings are subject to the same mass gathering restrictions. The order expires on December 16.
As a reminder, a mass gathering is “a planned event with a large number of individuals in attendance, such as a concert, festival, meeting, training, conference, performance, show, or sporting event. Individuals that are members of the same household or living unit do not count towards the mass gathering numbers.”
The other requirements from previous PHMDC emergency orders remain in place. You can find Lake Effect’s summaries of the previous orders here.
