Three Stages Road Back
Governor Murphy has released the three stages
The Road Back: Restoring Economic Health through Public Health.
We are currently in
Stage 1
. So, what does that mean for our businesses? Also, no guidelines have been provided on what safe guard measurements are required for each business.
1) Stage 1 –
Work activities at physical locations if they meet safeguarding and modifications.
Who can open: Essential businesses (medical, food stores, restaurants-curbside, delivery, retail for curbside pickup and delivery). IMO this is not clearly defined but as per regulations it does not permit in-store activities with customers in beauty, retail or dining businesses
2) Stage 2 – Who can open:
More work activities are allowed at physical locations only if they adhere to safeguarding and modification guidelines
. What does this mean. Outdoor dining, limited personal care (beauty, nail, spas)
3)
Stage 3-
More work activities, including in-person meetings, are allowed at physical locations only if they can adhere to safeguarding guidelines and modifications.
Work activities to be phased-in over the course of Stage 3 may include expanded dining, critical in-office work, limited entertainment, expanded personal care, and bars with limited capacity.
