State Health Officials from Wisconsin say it is unsafe for worshippers to gather in a church parking lot for a worship service even if they remain inside their cars. Grant County Emergency Management posted the statement from state health officials on social media. Guidance from state health officials notes that Wisconsin’s Safer at Home order prohibits gatherings of more than 10 people in a confined space, which includes parking lots and festival grounds. The post states that, “While an individual is safe in their car with the windows rolled up, it is extremely difficult to manage these types of gatherings.” The post notes that parking lots have limited access to restrooms and worshippers could be tempted to leave their vehicles.
