This story comes from a partnership of Wisconsin Watch and WPR . Harper Marten donned a mask, gown, gloves, face shield and booties for a July 10 visit with her father, Warren Shore. She had not seen him in person since March. Inside the memory care unit at Parkview Gardens, a senior living community in Racine, Marten held her father’s hand.

Tony Evers, a Democrat. But Marten wasn’t prepared to
