In Wisconsin and across the country, cases of COVID-19 infections continue to spread, placing stress on hospitals’ capacity to care for a surge in COVID-19 patients.
State Fair Park was chosen as a location for an Alternate Care Facility (ACF), to care for COVID-19 patients should there be insufficient hospital capacity in southeastern Wisconsin in the weeks ahead.
It is important that everyone continue to stay at home, practice social distancing and all the safety measures necessary to keep the COVID-19 spread from progressing. The need for and use of the Alternative Care Facility will largely be dependent on the rate of infection in our community.
As with all healthcare facilities, the staff and security will work together to protect the health and safety of the surrounding neighborhoods.
State Fair Park has its own police force and public safety department that will assist with security, along with assistance from other local law enforcement agencies if needed.
Residents of the surrounding neighborhoods are encouraged to follow state and local guidance to stay at home. Staying home saves lives and reducing physical contact with others is the most effective way to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Please contact Show Management or your Event Manager for drop-off availability and information.
