Operative words

During today's commission meeting, a subsequent directive, Directive 044, was released by the governor's office that outlined the steps toward local authority and what that authority will cover. One area it will not cover is the statewide mask mandate, which will remain in effect indefinitely. Directive 044 removes statewide social distancing minimums on May 1, and removes business capacity limits on June 1. The plan approved by Commissioner today, with guidelines from Directive 044 to be added, recommends that businesses follow CDC guidelines for social distancing, allowing business owners to set their own limits. Other highlights include that groups of 10 will be allowed in public places.... Fifty percent vaccination rate is a threshold for removing restrictions in the proposed plans.
