Gov. Tony Evers announces 'Safer at Home' order coming Tuesday

The order encourages people to stay at home rather than make "unnecessary trips." The order, according to Evers, would still allow workers providing essential care and services to continue traveling to and from work.

"You can still get out and walk the dogs—it’s good exercise and it’s good for everyone’s mental health," Evers said on Twitter.

"Limit your travel to essential needs like going to the doctor, grabbing groceries, or getting medication."
