SALT LAKE COUNTY — The Salt Lake County Health Department and Mayor Jenny Wilson issued a public health order Sunday with "further protections" to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.
The order goes into place at 12:01 a.m. Monday. It includes closing certain businesses where people tend to gather or that involve close contact, requiring businesses to actively enforce social distancing (six feet), and specifies what types of businesses are to be closed and which types are considered "essential" and will be "open with conditions."
Businesses that will be ordered to close include:
- Hair, nail, and eyelash salons
- Barber shops
- Waxing/electrolysis providers
- Day spas and estheticians
- Permanent makeup
- Eyebrow threading
- Body art facilities (tattoo/piercing)
- Massage and tanning
- Swimming pools and splash pads
- Aquariums, zoos, aviaries, and museums
- Playgrounds and recreation centers
- Arcades, bowling alleys, and movie theatres
- Gyms and fitness centers
- Theatres and performance venues
- Indoor play centers
- Social clubs
It also closes children’s playgrounds and prohibits team sports, including pickup games. Outdoor sports courts and fields can remain open, for are to only be used by individuals or a group of people that reside in the same household.
"Residents are asked to responsibly enjoy recreational amenities by always maintaining 6 feet from people outside of their household," the order reads.
The new public order is also enforceable by law. According to a press release from the County, violating it would be classified as a class B misdemeanor (class A for repeated offenses), but the County has asked law enforcement to enforce it with warnings instead of citations. Repeated or "egregious" violations may be cited and charged, however.
State law requires penalties for violating a local public health order. While penalties outlined by state code classify the offense as a misdemeanor (class B for the initial offense, class A for repeat offenses), Salt Lake County has asked local municipalities to enforce the public health order initially via warnings rather than citations. Repeat or egregious offenders may be cited and charged.
With the issuing of the order, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall announced that she will repeal her fifth emergency emergency proclamation issued Friday and will sign a new one addressing city-specific issues.
