I am the owner of a restaurant or retail business reopening. What should I do to keep myself, employees and customers safe?
  • All employees should be trained on environmental cleaning and disinfection, hand hygiene, and respiratory etiquette.
  • Screen employees before coming into the business for new or worsening cough; shortness of breath; sore throat; loss of taste or smell; feeling feverish or a measured temperature greater than or equal to 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit; or known close contact with a person who is lab-confirmed to have COVID-19. Any employee who meets any of these criteria should be sent home.
  • Upon entering the business, employees wash or sanitize hands.
  • Maintain at least 6 feet separation from one another.
