MAY 14, 2020 UPDATE: While Wisconsin's Safe at Home orders have been overturned and businesses may legally open, many establishments are choosing to move slowly to keep their employees and customers safe. Each establishment will open in different phases and you will need to contact them for specific details. Please continue to stay safe and we look forward to seeing you in Greater Wausau very soon!
Beginning August 1, as part of Emergency Order #1, masks will be required in the state of Wisconsin.
Masks will be required for all individuals, age five and older, when in an enclosed or indoor space (other than a private residence) and around another person who is not part of that individual's household.
Post photos on social media of how YOU are staying strong with #wausaucovidstrong or mail them to info@visitwausau.com and we will share them!
