Wisconsin Department of Health Services provide information about how Radon Mitigation is Impacted by COVID-19 at <a href="https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/impacts.htm">https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/impacts…;. The Department refers to The American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists fact sheet “ Radon Mitigation Jobside Guidance During COVID-19.”

The fact sheet addresses social distancing and jobsite safety guidance for best practices to keep contractors and customers protected when radon work is performed. See <a href="https://aarst.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/AARST-COVID-19-Radon-Mitigation-Guidance-.pdf">https:/…; This includes guidance on social distancing, hygiene, monitoring and focus on critical activities.

About one in ten homes in Wisconsin has elevated radon levels. For those homebound, the Department encourages testing and mitigation. An interactive map is provided at<a href="//wi-dhs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=68f3a3e068854810b626d002ce47aff4"> https://wi-dhs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=68f3a3e068854810b626d002ce47aff4</a&…; so that residents may query the data and find information about their locations by zip code. The website also provides a short video on Radon 101 at https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/radon/index.htm
