Riverside
County to allow additional personal care businesses to reopen Friday
(6/19/2020) with enhanced safety measures in place
Additional
personal care businesses, including nail salons and body art shops, may reopen
in Riverside County on Friday (June 19) with increased measures to slow the
spread of coronavirus. These businesses
are part of the state’s new guidance to include more industries in accelerated
stage two.
These
businesses, and all others currently open in Riverside County, must take proper
steps to protect employees and customers during this pandemic. Detailed
industry-specific guidance issued by the state explains what measures are
necessary to continue to curb the spread of the virus. In addition, the
Riverside County Economic Recovery Task Force will provide local guidance for
these industries as well. Local and state guidance can be found at www.RivCoBizHelp.org .
Health
officials remind residents that as people visit more places in the community,
cases are expected to increase. For this reason, it is extremely important for
everyone to take steps to protect themselves from coronavirus by continuing to
wear face coverings and keeping six feet of distance between others. Frequent
hand washing is also critical to help slow the spread of coronavirus.
“We do
not want to undo all the progress we’ve made in combating and slowing this
disease,” said Vice Chair Karen Spiegel, Second District Supervisor. “We welcome
more Riverside County businesses reopening and we encourage people to support
those businesses that are protecting their employees, because it also means
they care about protecting their customers.”
The personal care
businesses that will be eligible to open Friday include:
·
Nail
services
·
Facial
and esthetician services
·
Shaving,
waxing and threading services
·
Massage
therapy services
·
Body
art, tattoo and piercing services
Hair
salons and barber shops reopened May 26 as part of the state’s reopening plan.
In
addition, the state provided clarification this week that wedding ceremonies
may take place and residents may review the state’s cultural and religious
services guidance issued previously. However, wedding receptions are not
allowed under the state’s stay at home order. Libraries may also reopen as part
of the previous retail guidance issued by the state. To read these state
guidelines, visit www.RivCoBizHelp.org
Residents
of all ages are encouraged to get tested, with or without symptoms, to identify
where the disease is currently present in the community and where it is not.
Testing continues to be an integral focus as more residents visit more
businesses. Visit www.rivcoph.org/coronavirus/testing
for more information on testing locations and how to make an appointment.
