We are working to update our dashboards to better reflect how our standing is within the coronameter indicator guidelines. We hope to have this new look launched this week.

We all look forward to celebrating Independence Day. We ask that you do so responsibly. It is up to you to stay in the blue and keep our businesses open.

We have had some confusion around what the state’s public health order means vs the state’s guidance. Upon consulting the state attorneys, we have determined that we can in fact operate events at a size of up to 175 outdoors.

There are currently growing cases in many of our neighboring counties and states. In addition, we have seen an uptick in symptomatic callers to our call center. We have averaged 2.7 symptomatic calls per day for the first 21 days of June. We have had 7, 10, and 11 symptomatic callers per day since 6/22.

We have been getting a number of questions today around what the four positive results that came in yesterday mean, particularly for businesses who are concerned about another shutdown.

We had four new positive results today from individuals who were tested over the last 5 days.

The State has not yet issued an updated public health order BUT they are planning on issuing one later today that will likely be effective tomorrow.

Now that we begin to reopen and are in a lull in the disease pattern, we are reflecting back on how we got to where we are today.

If patrons choose to sit on your patio with their take out order that is acceptable. Outdoor seating is not approved for any service: food or beverage. In addition, if patrons choose to sit on your patio it will be important to have signage (see link below for an example) regarding the public health orders, physical distancing, waste disposal and limiting group size (encouraging same households sitting together). In addition, having appropriate sanitation available for hand hygiene and disinfectant for cleaning would be needed for the seating area. Staff would be responsible for sanitizing surfaces between groups.

In an effort to sustain our operations in the long term, we are moving to a Monday and Thursday update and meeting schedule.
