Operative words

For beauty/nail salons, barbershops, massage therapy offices or centers, bowling alleys, pool halls, body art or tattoo establishments, and any other indoor businesses where staff and patrons are within six (6) feet of each other for fifteen (15) consecutive minutes or more: Such businesses shall require the use of masks, or other item sufficient to cover an individual's mouth and nose, for all staff, practitioners and patrons... For child care centers, where staff are within six (6) feet of children for fifteen (15) consecutive minutes or more: Such child care centers shall require all staff to use masks... 3. Elective surgery and elective procedures; for all Acute Care Hospitals, Critical Care Hospitals and Children's Hospitals: Elective medical surgeries and procedures are allowed in the aforementioned facilities so long as those facilities maintain and dedicate ten percent (10%) of staffed general beds, and ten percent (10%) of staffed ICU beds, for the care and treatment of COVID-19 patients. In addition, these facilities must NOT transfer COVID-19 patients to create capacity for elective surgery.

Enforcement

DHHS formula; supersedes Orders 2020-001 to 2020-011 and SCHD-001 to SCHD-011; 'binding and enforceable regardless of any Directed Health Measure(s) issued by Local Health Departments or municipalities'

Notes

Indoor venues previously approved at 75 or 50 percent 'must follow the new twenty five percent (25%) restriction'; occupancy limits do not apply to religious services and receptions but six-foot separation between household parties does

Retrieval note
