Modifications to Business *
Businesses can reopen, in their currently approved square footage, after they meet each of the steps. They do not need a formal inspection before they open as long as they have followed the guidelines and have made no significant physical modifications to a facility. In addition to adequate “social distancing” to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus, businesses also need to avoid any unpermitted physical modifications that could have life safety impacts, such as slowing exit from the building in the event of any fire.
