Operative words
Thus far, the Metro Department of Public Health & Wellness has issued shutdown orders to seven Louisville businesses that were operating in defiance of the COVID-19 restrictions.... 'We will close a business if it is not allowed to be open under the governor's executive order, or is unwilling to operate safely,' Mendel said. 'If they are unwilling to operate safely, we may even issue orders for businesses that are essential.'
