The Clay County Public Health amended its Emergency Order this week. The following changes go into effect Sunday, July 5:
- A business may return to the full building/fire code occupancy if the following protocols are implemented and adhered to at all times:
- All employees or visitors to any indoor public accommodation must wear face coverings in an area or while performing any activity which will necessarily involve close contact or proximity to co-workers or the public, while physical distancing standards continue to be applied.
- These spaces include, but are not limited to, grocery and other retail stores, special events, and public transit. The list of persons who may be exempt from wearing a face covering can be found below or within the full document at clayhealth.com/recovery.
- If the above protocols are not implemented, business and organizational occupancy restrictions are to continue at 50% of the entity’s authorized building/fire code occupancy.
- Taverns/bars must remain at 50% occupancy.
- Pools must remain at 50% occupancy.
- Youth sports for children 5 years and younger may resume. Full contact sports practices may resume in stable groups of 25 or under.
- Mass gatherings (including outdoor weddings and funerals) are still limited to 250 people.
- Churches and indoor wedding/funeral services: must maintain 50% occupancy if face coverings are not required or can have full occupancy if face coverings are required and physical distancing is maintained.
- Long-term care facilities must continue to restrict visitors.
