May 1, 2020 – Now that we’ve transitioned from the “Stay at Home” Order to the “Safer at Home” Order, there are a number of things that are now back open and available to the public, while still following physical distancing guidelines, and other safety considerations. Here is a list of different things to do this weekend (May 1-3) that are allowed under the “Safer at Home” Order
Personal Services, Retail, Food
Many businesses are now open, but please remember when visiting any local business to maintain 6-foot physical distances from others, wear a cloth face covering, follow any guidelines that the business has posted, avoid touching your face, sneeze or cough into your elbow, and wash your hands regularly or use hand sanitizer frequently.
