Operative words
All businesses subject to the following rules are required to self-certify prior to opening. The certification system can be accessed here. ** Note: The self-certification process for companies eligible to open in Phase 2 will be operational Monday, June 8. **
Penalty
Operating without compliance was a public nuisance enforceable by closure (EO 7PP § 2, Ex. CT-018; EO 7ZZ § 3, Ex. CT-021) and, from Nov. 24, 2020, a $10,000 civil penalty per violation (EO 9N, Ex. CT-033; EO 11A, Ex. CT-041)
What it required
Every business permitted to reopen under the Sector Rules to certify to the State, before opening, that it would operate under the rules for its sector (capacity, distancing, face coverings, cleaning, screening, logs, training), the certification being the condition of lawful operation; the page also records EO 7PP's direction that DECD 'shall issue a list of business types permitted to reopen, which... shall be incorporated in the Sector Rules.' Character as recorded: agency_position_statement (release, FAQ, memorandum or statement; order_operating_condition layer).
