More Businesses Can Open But Under Strict Guidelines

Dateline: May 1, 2020

Governor Sununu today released new looser guidelines that take effect on several dates in May.

Today WMUR reported the following. "Outdoor seating at restaurants, drive-in theaters, golf and haircuts will be allowed -- under strict guidelines -- under a new stay-at-home order issued Friday by Gov. Chris Sununu.

"Campgrounds, manufacturing services and state parks can open immediately if they follow the guidelines.

"Golf courses, barbers, and hair salons, retail stores and drive-in theaters can open May 11, under certain conditions.

"Restaurants can begin serving customers May 18 in outdoor dining areas, as long as tables allow parties to sit at least 6 feet apart, among other conditions.

"Time-sensitive hospital services can begin as soon as Monday May 4.

"All retail establishments can reopen May 11.

"State parks are open with specific guidelines."

One missing topic is places of worship so you are probably expected to stay away or attend services via a streaming web service if available.
