GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich has announced plans for a city-wide face mask requirement.
“I feel like this is a very reasonable step to take,” Genrich told reporters. “It’s one that other communities in Wisconsin are contemplating or taking and about half of all US states have a face covering requirement.”
It still has to be brought in front of the city council, which it will be during their meeting on Tuesday.
The plan would require face coverings to be worn indoors throughout businesses in the city. Violations would be dealt with like trespassers. There will be medical exemptions.
