Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers extended the state's "Safer at Home" order from April 24 to May 26 on Thursday, in an effort to continue fighting the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Evers instructed the state's Department of Health to carry out the directive, which will institute new safety measures but also allows for certain things to start up again, according to a press release.

“A few weeks ago, we had a pretty grim outlook for what COVID-19 could mean for our state, but because of the efforts of all of you, 'Safer at Home' is working. That said, we aren't out of the woods just yet,” Evers said. 

Some of the changes will include: The ability for public libraries to now provide curbside pick-up of books, golf courses may open again with certain restrictions, and nonessential businesses can do more than just minimum basic operations, including deliveries and pickups.
