When it comes to the COVID-19 vaccination rollout, Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee aren’t the slowest in the state.
That distinction belongs to Taylor County, located west of Wausau in central Wisconsin, where 23.5% of eligible residents 12 and older have received at least one vaccine dose.

La Fuente, located at 92nd & Bluemound Road, is one of many Milwaukee restaurants that could be affected by the city s new June 1 end date for its mask requirement.
More southeastern Wisconsin communities are announcing an earlier end to their face mask requirements for COVID-19. Milwaukee says it s halting its order June 1, instead of the June 15 date set last week. But some local venues may still keep requiring masks.
Last week, the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made the surprise announcement that people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 do not need to wear masks or practice social distancing indoors or outdoors, except in certain locations like on public buses and airplanes.

MILWAUKEE, WI (WHBL) – It’s another hint of the return to normal. The city of Milwaukee on Tuesday gave the Bucks and the Brewers permission to welcome back more fans. Both teams can be at 50-percent capacity, starting Saturday.
The Bucks have been capped at 18-percent, the Brewers at 25-percent.
Brewers’ president Rick Schlesinger says they have shown they can welcome fans back without an uptick in coronavirus cases.
Milwaukee Health Commissioner Kirsten Johnson says the teams have upheld their end of the bargain.
There is no word on when or if the teams will be able to expand capacity again.
