On June 1 the Menomonie Public Library re-opened to public visits. The number of COVID-19 infections in the county has increased greatly in the past few weeks, and as a result the library board has decided to close the library again. This decision was reached in conversation with the Dunn County Public Health Department. 

The Eau Claire City-County Health Department is alerting the public of potential COVID-19 exposure at Scooter’s Bar on Friday, September 18 (9PM-3AM) and Saturday, September 19 (9PM-3AM).

In a special meeting at 5:30 this evening the Menomonie City Council considered an ordinance requiring mask-wearing in the city. They will also consider an ordinance on attendance limits. The agenda is attached and we will provide a video of the meeting later tonight.
