It could end-up being an expensive Halloween for at least a dozen people in Madison.
The city’s health department director Janel Heinrich yesterday said her office is fining 13 people who hosted Halloween parties last weekend. The fines start at one thousand-dollars per violation, and Heinrich said some houses were cited for multiple violations. UW-Madison says it’s dealing with 37 possible party violations. The school says 31 students are in trouble, including nine who may be suspended.
Madison and the university say they are trying to send a clear message about keeping people socially distanced during the coronavirus outbreak.
