On Sunday, April 26 places of worship may choose to reopen for services with reduced capacity and must maintain strict physical distancing protocols. Families can sit together, but for the safety of the parish or congregation, there has to be sufficient room between families.pic.twitter.com/w7LiAE3G4n
On Monday, April 27, main street and retail businesses can reopen. But that doesn’t mean things should look like they did before this virus. Just like we're now used to the markings on the floor of grocery stores, retail stores must be able to maintain physical distancing.pic.twitter.com/SpX3IsgqBA
Other businesses where groups gather often without the ability to create distance between customers - like movie theaters and gyms - will remain closed for now.
On Monday, May 4th, restaurants, breweries, distilleries and bars can reopen with reduced capacity. There has to be plenty of space between tables - and no more than 6 people at a table. You won’t be able to sit at the bar to drink and patrons must leave all bars by 11:30 pm.pic.twitter.com/SgMzNCJwmF
On May 7, schools will have the option to return to in-classroom learning. Locally elected school boards will make the decision to resume classes or continue with remote learning.pic.twitter.com/AInhsTXumZ
I so appreciate the teachers, administrators, the food service staff, all school district staff and the parents who have been doing their best to serve Montana’s kids through this extremely difficult time.
Finally, the travel quarantine will remain in effect. Out-of-state travelers and Montana residents arriving from another state or country to Montana for non-work-related purposes will still need to undergo a 14-day self-quarantine.
But this is not a time to declare victory. We are not in the clear yet — and we're still relying on support from the federal government. I will keep fighting medical supplies for our first responders and supplies to increase our testing capacity.https://www.kulr8.com/coronavirus/governor-bullock-secures-additional-ppe-from-private-market-for-montana-health-care-workers/article_82b005a8-841d-11ea-b676-bbbee891b031.html …
While there is reason for optimism, this is not a time for celebration. The virus has not left Montana. We must continue to protect one another, look out for our neighbors, and be vigilant in every step we take.
