Currently all the libraries, bars, restaurants, schools and non-essential businesses are closed.

Both Vilas and Oneida counties have asked that people who are seasonal residents and those who are out of town currently stay out of the area until the virus spread slows. Our limited hospitals and medical staff just can't handle an increase. If you do return, you need to self-isolate for 14 days.

Here's a link to the Vilas County Covid-19 page. It has additional information about the virus and ways to protect yourself, your family and your neighbors.

With our aging population and limited health care facilities up north, it's important to remember to follow the safer at home guidelines.
