Designate with signage, tape, or by other means, six foot spacing for employees and customers... Ensure that employees practice social distancing and wear face coverings when social distancing is not always possible. Implement separate operating hours for elderly and vulnerable customers... Require employees, customers, and other individuals on the premises who are over age two and able to medically tolerate a face covering to cover their nose and mouth with a face covering when on premises when indoors.
