These individuals must maintain appropriate social distancing. Gyms, exercise facilities, and exercise classes may also open on May 18, but must operate at 25% occupancy. Locker rooms and shower facilities must remain closed, but restrooms may open. Non-essential manufacturing services may also open on May 18, but facilities must limit their occupancy to 25%.
