Limit on Indoor Public Gatherings

Governor Evers issued an emergency order limiting public gatherings to no more than 25% of a room or building’s total occupancy until November 6, 2020. The City has been in contact with the Polk County Health Department regarding calculating a building's occupancy capacity. The capacity is based on fire code. We have attached some information to aide in calculating a business' occupancy.
