COVID-19
According to the Milwaukee Health Department, the best way to stop the community
spread of COVID-19 is to take preventative action to protect yourself and others:
• Get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can (city.milwaukee.gov/CovidVax). Vac-
cines are safe and readily available at walk-in clinics throughout the community
for anyone over the age of 12 years old.
• Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and oth-
ers, and stay at least 6 feet apart from others who don’t live with you.
• Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces, and improve ventilation
whenever possible.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and wa-
ter aren’t available.
More information is available from the health department: city.milwaukee.gov/coron-
