The Wisconsin Medical Society is opposing a Republican-authored resolution in the Legislature that would overturn the statewide mask mandate put in place by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The state Senate plans to vote on the resolution Tuesday.
The Assembly, also in session Tuesday, has not said if it will vote on the resolution. The board of directors for the medical society voted Saturday to support continuation of the mask mandate issued by Evers and oppose the GOP resolution.
