On March 14, the Department of Community and Economic Development, in consultation with the Department of Health, issued guidance for non-essential businesses in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Gov. Tom Wolf has strongly urged non-essential businesses in the four counties to close during their county-specific mitigation periods to protect employees, customers, and suppliers and limit the spread of the virus through personal contact and surfaces.
As a matter of public health, it is the Department of Health’s strong recommendation that businesses cease operations to mitigate the spread of this disease. In particular, the following types of businesses should temporarily cease regular operations:
-- Community and recreation centers
-- Gyms, including yoga/spin/barre facilities
-- Hair salons, nail salons, and spas
-- Casinos, concert venues, and theaters
-- Bars
-- Sporting events facilities and golf courses
-- Non-essential retail facilities, including shopping malls (except for pharmacy or other health care facilities located therein)
-- NOTE: Liquor stores will begin an orderly closure. Individuals can still buy wine and beer at grocery stores with PLCB licenses
