Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has shared a series of rules businesses like barbershops and hair salons must follow before before reopening May 6.
The guidelines apply to "close contact personal services" in 89 of the state's 95 counties, according to the guidelines shared by the state online.
Some of the guidelines include:
- Verbal and temperature screenings for all employees
- Practicing social distancing
- Increased hygiene practices like changing protective garments on a regular basis
- Washing hands between each customer
- Employees must wear a cloth face covering
Other protocols that businesses will need to observe include not offering any self-serve food or beverages and prohibiting congregation.
The new guidelines limit certain services that require the removal of face coverings. Services like beard shaving/trimming and facials will not be allowed in phase one, the guidelines state.
