Nonessential retailers to close to customers Gov. Beshear announced that all in-person retail businesses that are not life sustaining will close effective Monday, March 23, 2020, at 8pm. The order is to protect the people of Kentucky from COVID-19 and is necessary to overcome the virus and save lives. Life-sustaining retail businesses that will stay open include grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, hardware stores, gas stations and other businesses that provide staple goods. A full list of categories of life-sustaining, in-person retail businesses is attached to the order (20200322 Executive Order_2020-246 Retail (PDF). The order includes specific language about restaurants: "For the avoidance of doubt, carry-out, delivery, and drive-through food and beverage sales may continue, consistent with the March 16, 2020 Order of the Cabinet of Health and Family Services and the Department of Public Health and the March 19, 2020, Order of the Public Protection Cabinet." Entertainment, sporting goods, clothing, shoe, jewelry and furniture stores, florists, bookstores and auto dealers are among those business that will close. Nonessential retail businesses, while they cannot allow Kentuckians into stores, can still fill phone and online orders through curbside services or delivery. "This is the next step that we need to take to reduce the contacts among Kentuckians until we can defeat this virus," Gov. Beshear said. He said there is no need to rush to grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations that can remain open. "There is going to be enough of the essentials for everybody," he said. Retail businesses that remain open must follow, to the fullest extent practicable, social distancing and hygiene guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Kentucky Department for Public Health, which includes ensuring physical separation of employees and customers by at least six feet when possible; ensuring employees practice appropriate hygiene measures and ordering sick individuals to leave the premises. Failure to follow the order could subject a business to closure. This story was posted on 2020-03-23 07:06:04
