Back to Business in Pennsylvania

By

With the current outbreak of the coronavirus, it has put many areas of business in Pennsylvania at a stand still. Some businesses have shut down completely, as others such as restaurants have found ways to adapt by offering pick up and delivery services. One thing we know for sure is that life has not been the same for any of us since COVID-19 came on the map. Governor Tom Wolff and his administration are putting plans together to reopen Pennsylvania so the residents can start to get back to a somewhat “normal” life again.

What we can Expect

The first phase of the reopening process as of May 1st, will include some businesses related to outdoor activity to ensure residents are able to maintain positive mental and physical health. These types of businesses that were mentioned are golf courses, marinas, and privately owned campgrounds. They also will include guided fishing trips. Unfortunately, any campgrounds that are inside state parks will remain closed until May 14th at the earliest. The residents are still encouraged to practice social distancing during these activities.

Preparing Your Business to Reopen

Beginning May 8th, there will be another phase of the reopening process. Many business owners have questions on the safest approach to reopen their business to avoid any future spread of the coronavirus. We believe that one of the best approaches you can take, is to hire a trusted company to come into your facility prior to your reopen to apply a disinfectant that will help lower the risk of your employees and customers contracting the virus. This will give you the confidence you need in knowing that you have taken proper preventative measures to ensure the safety of those that enter your business.
