This week the provincial government gave the majority of businesses ordered to close when the pandemic first hit Nova Scotia the green light to reopen on June 5, if they’re comfortable doing so.
The other major component to reopening is that businesses must meet the approved safety protocols for their individual sectors, which range from regulated health professions like massage therapy to bars and coffee shops.
In preparation for the reopening of the economy, one Nova Scotia business has been busy manufacturing protective barriers made out of Plexiglass. “It’s pretty bland, pretty simple but I think people realize it is going to keep them safe and keep that barrier,” said Sean Court, the account manager with Beaumont Cabinets.
