Top Wisconsin Republican leaders have been turned down in their request for in-person Easter and Passover services to be allowed.
Governor Tony Evers denied the request Monday after a waiver of the Safer at Home order had been sought.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos issued a statement saying “it is more important than ever that we allow Wisconsinites to observe their individual faiths.”
He suggested the services could be held outside.
A spokesperson for the governor said his decision was based on protecting the health and safety of all Wisconsinites.
