Masks and extensions of economic shutdown
 
I own two auto repair businesses. It’s outrageous to consider auto repair or
retail business a medium risk. Especially when grocery and home improvement, Walmart, Sams Clubs have no limits placed on them. Just about everyone has visited a grocery store or large store in the last 3 to 4 months. Small businesses are taking more safety measures and working diligently to ensure customer safety. 
 
Our waiting areas are rarely utilized in one store, second store sees more waiting customers but have adequate space for “social distancing” regardless both stores are being cleaned regularly throughout the day after customers have left their seats or places they have touched. 
 
Our service managers use masks while interacting with customers. 
We offer Uber rides, concierge pick up and drop off and exterior key drop box services so customers have options for contactless service. 

If people have grave concerns for their health they need to stay quarantined in their homes. The rest of Virginia needs freedom for jobs, services, retail, and to return to a “normal life” so we can rebuild our economy.
