COVID-19 UPDATE- BARBER SHOPS ORDERED TO CLOSE ON APRIL 4TH

Governor’s Office Provides Additional Guidance On Essential Services

PHOENIX⁠ — The Governor’s Office today released additional guidance on essential services and recreational activities.

“During these unprecedented times, providing clarity for small businesses and employers is an important measure to ensure we protect our citizens, slow the spread of COVID-19, and protect this critical part of our economy,” said Governor Doug Ducey. “As guidance from public health officials evolves, we will continue to release information and direction.”

On March 23, 2020, Governor Ducey issued an Executive Order defining essential services. On March 30, 2020, following new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and recommendations from the Arizona Department of Public Health, Governor Ducey issued an Executive Order directing Arizonans to Stay Home, Stay Healthy, and Stay Connected, which included increased physical distancing requirements.

If not already closed, the following services shall cease operations no later than 5 p.m. on April 4, 2020, as these services cannot comply with the guidelines required in paragraph 11 of Executive Order 2020-18, directing Arizonans to Stay Home, Stay Healthy, and Stay Connected.

Barbers 

Cosmetology, Hairstyling, Nail Salons and Aesthetic Salons 

Tanning salons

Tattoo parlors

Spas

Massage parlors

In addition, the following services shall also cease operations by 5 p.m. Saturday, April 4:

Amenities at public parks that do not allow for recommended physical distancing or proper hygiene such as basketball courts, splash pads, playgrounds and public restrooms but public parks shall remain open to the greatest extent possible.

Communal pools such as those at hotels, condominiums, apartment complexes and parks, however, these should still be maintained under environmental and public health rules and guidelines.

The Governor’s Office also provided guidance related to the following services, which are considered essential and may continue operations:

Personal hygiene services including in-home services such as assistance with bathing and cleaning for vulnerable adults and those who are disabled.

Additionally, there are economic opportunities available for small businesses:

A portion of these loans are forgivable (program details and the application here)

COVID-19 Guidance_ Businesses and Employers _ CDC...........Link to read full recommendation guidelines

 

Following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, under all circumstances, the following precautions should be followed by people utilizing barber services. To the extent possible, these providers should take measures to ensure that customers may follow these guidelines:

• Stay home if sick.

• Protect yourself while visiting salons, spas, and barbershops

• Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.

• If possible, use touchless payment (pay without touching money, a card, or a keypad). If you must handle money, a card, or use a keypad, use hand sanitizer immediately after.

• After leaving your appointment, use hand sanitizer. When you get home, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• Maintain physical distancing, to the extent possible.

• Provide and require employees to wear masks when possible.

• For treatments that require touching someone’s face, provide and require employees to wear gloves when possible.

• Provide access to soap and water for handwashing or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer at stations around the store, salon or spa for use by employees and clients. Require employees to wash hands immediately before and after providing client service.

• For treatments/appointments that don’t require touching the client’s face, clients should be encouraged to wear masks for their protection.

• Operate with reduced occupancy and capacity based on the size of the business location with special attention to limiting areas where customers and employees can congregate.

• Wipe any pens, counters, or hard surfaces between use or customer.

• Implement comprehensive sanitation protocols.                                                           

 • Implement symptom screening for employees prior to the start of their shift.

• Consider offering cloth face coverings to employees and visitors to wear.     

• Consider operating by appointment-only to manage occupancy levels.
