The Wisconsin Supreme Court is refusing to consider whether to reinstate Gov. Tony Evers’ order limiting the size of public indoor gatherings.

A Barron County judge upheld the mandate, spurring an appeal from Pro-Life Wisconsin and a bar in Amery. The 3rd District Court of Appeals blocked the order on Oct. 23 while it considers the case.
