Dropbox installed to submit Milwaukee bar, restaurant COVID-19 plans
MILWAUKEE - To continue serving guests in-person, Milwaukee bars and restaurants were required by the city health department to submit a COVID-19 safety plan by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 15.
While the deadline has passed, some owners who ran into trouble submitting their plans on time now have a second way to do so -- a secure dropbox downtown.
FOX6 News reached out to the Milwaukee Health Department regarding business owners who may have wanted to submit plans in-person -- but found they could not.
On Wednesday morning, the health department announced that it has decided to install a dropbox in its lobby, giving business owners another option.
The dropbox is located in the Milwaukee Health Department's lobby, which is in the Zeidler Municipal Building near Broadway and Kilbourn in downtown Milwaukee, available Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
While plans were due Tuesday night, health department officials said they will be giving business owners who did not meet the deadline a two-week extension.
