Health and Safety Advisories

The City of Milwaukee Health Department (MHD), in coordination with state health officials, has issued an active advisory regarding potential measles exposure. The investigation follows a confirmed case involving an individual who traveled through Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport on January 29, 2026.

Health officials urge anyone who was present at the airport between 10:31 PM on January 29 and 12:31 AM on January 30 to check their Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccination status. Impacted individuals should monitor for symptoms—including high fever, cough, and a red rash—through February 19, 2026. If symptoms appear, residents must contact their healthcare provider by phone before visiting a clinic to prevent further spread.

In addition, the Health Department notes that the Keenan STI Clinic remains temporarily closed for renovations, with a projected reopening scheduled for later this month. Residents seeking services are directed to alternative community clinics or the MHD website for updates.

Public Works and Winter Regulations

The Department of Public Works (DPW) reminds residents that winter parking regulations remain in full effect citywide through March 1, 2026. This includes overnight parking restrictions on through-highways and bus routes to ensure that emergency vehicles and salt trucks can navigate streets safely. Always check posted street signs for specific block-by-block regulations.

Furthermore, the 27th Street Viaduct is currently closed for a significant reconstruction project. Motorists are advised to utilize posted detours and expect increased travel times in the surrounding area as crews work on these vital infrastructure improvements. For updates on snow and ice operations, residents can sign up for text alerts through the city’s notification system.
