Where Do You Need A Mask In Wauwatosa Right Now?

WAUWATOSA, WI — After following Milwaukee and Racine in dropping masks for fully vaccinated individuals, Wauwatosa still requires masks indoors in health care settings and in businesses that decide to enact their own rules.

The City of Wauwatosa required residents to wear masks when outside of their homes until June 16, but the rule was amended Tuesday for fully vaccinated residents.

According to the new amendment, individuals fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (two weeks after their second Pfizer/Moderna shot or first and only Johnson & Johnson shot) can resume indoor and outdoor activities without a face covering and without physically distancing. This follows the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention changes to masking guidance last week.

Major retail stores have allowed fully vaccinated customers to shop in their stores nationwide. Here's a list of chain stores that have dropped mask rules:

• Target
• CVS
• Walmart
• Pick 'N Save
• Starbucks
• Home Depot
• Trader Joe's
• Costco
• Walgreens
• Aldi

Wisconsin has no active statewide mandate for wearing a face covering to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Health care settings like Froedtert Hospital will still follow masking, social distancing and screening precautions, according to its website. The Wauwatosa School District requires all individuals to wear masks inside for the rest of the school year, Communications Coordinator Sarah Frittitta said.

Individuals who haven't been vaccinated against COVID-19 will still have to wear masks when in and outdoors in public, according to Tosa's mask requirement.
