Stay-at-home order goes into effect in Wisconsin
Starting Wednesday morning, nonessential businesses are closed and residents must largely stay home in Wisconsin. That's by order of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
He’s following the lead of more than a dozen governors across the country who have taken similar action in an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19.
But Evers is facing strong criticism from Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin who are worried about the economic impact of the decision.
