What are your top safety concerns for reopening?

Top concern is people not following safety guidelines to wear a mask when around other people and inside businesses. 

People purposefully not wearing masks because they want to prove a mindless point.

Every business owner should be firm, No MASK No SERVICE.

But business owners also play an important role. They must ensure a safe environment for their customers and workers.

Wearing a mask is such a simple and small thing to do. Let's do it!

I've never closed.  As a Preventive Care Practitioner I offer therapeutic treatments and health services that focus on reversing health problems with complimentary alternative options and help people strengthen their immune system.   If an individual suspects that he/she has contracted something that's causing signs or symptoms of the flu, allergies or a cold an alternative, holistic solution is suggested.   Our bodies are designed to combat pathogens that appear naturally in nature.  It will even make the necessary adjustments to destroy pathogens that have been biologically manipulated and released.  Everyone needs to learn "how to" strengthen their immune system before it's invaded by germs, bacteria and viruses.  

I reopened for Mother’s Day and I had the store front closed for 2 months, just did deliveries from online orders and call in orders, I did see a lot of  people walking up to store without mask on to read the sign I had on the door that we were just taking orders online or call in, so my fear is that people won’t be safe and wear their mask and take any precautions .  Still people are dying over 100.000 and I do not have my designers working at this time, so I am the only florist at the shop. just need to follow the bylines that are given to us ..

We’ve never closed for a minute throughout this difficult time.  From day one we’ve practiced “ Social Distancing “  by offering our customers FREE mobile service to their homes / business.   Their vehicles can be unlocked from inside their homes / business, we do our work and lock the vehicle up when we are done.  We truly can have zero interaction with our customers.  Easy peasy !!

All businesses need to take precautions as best they can, and then it is up to the individual customer to decide if it is "safe enough" for them. If a merchant sets up precautions, and a potential customer does not want to abide by those rules, he is not served, very similar to no shirt, no shoes no service. Now we add in face masks and social distancing. Not every business is the "same" but we are all not that different. Be safe !!

I am mostly concerned about having enough distance when i am teaching my students. I will figure out how to help them by having them hold up their art work instead of my being right behind them to explain something.  I need to have air filters in the room and make sure the children wash their hands frequently.  I am planning on having fewer students also.  

I am a bit confused.....

How are football players able to tackle each other and ‘be ok’ (not have to adhere to social distancing) and all small business are required to cut employees by 50% and maintain rigorous distancing practices.  I am just trying to understand and make sense from the inconsistencies.

For us as a community and business owners clarity, honest information, compassion and innovation does lay a foundation for adaptation with out complacency.  I feel it is of the upmost importance for us as people and a community to not look for what was and try to recapture a prior state of interrelations ..... instead envision our greatest possibilities and encourage new systems of our own inception.

It has been harder since "opening" back up than before. I love the curbside and will continue that indefinitely. I know people walk away when I say no mask no visit inside. They tell me why do I have the mask rule when the big box stores Don't. I knew that was going to come back to haunt me. I almost want to give up. It's hard enough to run a small business, but now I have to fight about the mask thing. I have to as I have high risk employees and my store is small and hard to do the six feet thing. I had one customer with no appointment, who was told to call for appointment, no mask, tried to push way in to shop right past my cancer patient employee. Errrrr. Things like that make me want to stay shut for good. 

I am hesitant about opening. Since everyone has not been tested it seems we have no idea who is infected or not especially fro A symptomatic individuals. We all need to be tested before we open why it is called a pandemic for a reason. 

If Walmart, Target, Publix and car dealership were open, why not everyone. It takes common sense which many politicians don't have.
