Southeast counties going green, but restrictions remain
Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties on Friday moved into the green phase of the state of Pennsylvania’s classification system for reopening in the wake of COVID-19 shut-down orders. Delaware County offers a list of the work and social restrictions that remain in place during the green phase. Restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, including casinos, theaters and shopping malls, can operate at 50 percent capacity. So can hair salons, and barbershops, although they can only accept patrons by appointment. Indoor recreation, health and wellness facilities, and personal care services such as gyms and spas, also can operate at 50 percent capacity, preferably by appointment. Construction activity can return to full capacity with continued implementation of safety protocols. Gatherings of more than 250 people are prohibited, and people are required to wear masks when entering businesses.

Safety equipment kits for businesses available from MLCC
The Main Line Chamber of Commerce is distributing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits as part its role as a member of the Chester County Recovery Task Force. The $10 kits include 100 masks, 100 pairs of gloves and a half gallon of hand sanitizer and will be available for pickup on June 16 from 9-5 at the Chamber offices in Wayne. Although any business or nonprofit member of the chamber with fewer than 100 employees is eligible, preference is given to Chester County businesses for this set of kits.
