The Evers Administration made some changes this morning to the Safer at Home order. Non-essential businesses may open for in-person retail so long as they do the following:
1. Only use entrances to the outside. Any entrances through a mall or interconnected passage must remain closed. If the store does not have an entrance to the outside, it may not offer in-person retail.
2. Only allow 5 customers in the store at a time.
3. Maintain social distancing at all times. If a store cannot maintain social distancing with 5 customers in the store, it will need to lower the number of customers allowed in at a time.
4. Establish a line outside the store to control entry, with markings so customers know where to stand to ensure social distancing. Alternatively, stores could allow customers to wait in their cars and notify them by phone or text when it’s their turn to enter the store.
5. Restrict the number of staff to only what is strictly necessary.
6. Increase standards of facility cleaning and disinfecting to limit staff and customer exposure to COVID-19 and adopt protocols to clean and disinfect in the event of a positive COVID-19 case.
7. Adopt policies to prevent staff from entering the store if they display respiratory symptoms or have had contact with a person with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19.
8. Face coverings are recommended for staff and customers.
