MT Reopening Plan

Phase 1

• Health assessments must be conducted for all employees

at the beginning of each shift.

• In establishments where customers wait in line,

non-household customers should remain physically distanced (e.g. 6’ feet apart). o

• Waiting areas where adequate physical distancing

cannot be maintained must be closed.

MT Reopening Plan

Phase 1

• Customers should be encouraged to call for a reservation or appointment

prior to entering the establishment. Businesses should use an online wait-listing app if possible.

• Physical distancing of 6’ must be maintained between non-congregate

(same household) customers, which may require: ○ A reduction in capacity; ○ A reduction in seating in service/waiting areas; ○ Management of waiting areas and lines; ○ Systems that reduce the amount of contact time between customers and staff.

Do I need to be wearing a mask when I leave the house?

• Non-medical face coverings are not required but are

strongly encouraged while in public, especially in circumstances that do not readily allow for appropriate physical distancing (grocery/retail stores, pharmacies, public transportation, etc.)
