At a press conference Wednesday, county officials announced new guidelines for certain businesses and organizations that may resume operation:
- Houses of worship can have drive-in services as long as individuals remain in their vehicles. Physical sharing or passing of items is highly discouraged
- Janitorial and housekeeping services can operate
- Retail stores that sell fabric can operate so community members can make face coverings
- Drive-in theaters can operate
All of the new guidelines are dependent on those involved following the health department’s physical distancing recommendations.
