With that end date in sight, health officials set limits on specific businesses. Those limits are set to move into the next phase starting on May 22. Cudahy was the lone Milwaukee County community to rescind their own Safer At Home order. They did so on May 15.
As for the rest of the suburban Milwaukee County communities, restaurants and bars will be able to reopen at 50 percent capacity starting Friday. Salon and spa services will be able to open at 25 percent capacity. Gyms and fitness centers can also reopen at 25 percent capacity.
