6 things your business should be doing if still open to the public

If your business is still open to the public, the Fredericksburg City government has just posted a list of the six things business owners in its city should be doing in the wake of the coronavirus spread. The list comes amid Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's mandatory stay-at-home order for state residents, which restricts residents from leaving the state, and only making trips to essential business like grocery, hardware, automotive stores, and restaurants. That order remains in effect until June 10. Fredericksburg tells us those six things are:

1.      As appropriate, such as at customer service windows and cash register lanes, encourage the use of physical barriers or sneeze-guards such as plexi-glass or acrylic partitions to separate retail workers from members of the general public.

2.      Use rope-and-stanchion systems to keep customers from queuing or congregating near work areas. For example, provide a waiting area for customers that is separated by at least 6 feet from a cash register workstation. Signage that instructs individuals waiting in line to remain 6 feet back from work areas may bolster the effectiveness.

3.      If an entity has concrete or similar hard surface flooring, tape applied on the floor in 6 foot increments also serve as customer staging while awaiting in lines.
