My company and many in the hospitality industry are leading with safety protocol information. As in “hey, we are re-opening, here’s what we are doing to make things safer:”.
That’s not just a PR/marketing move—-we need our guests to help us. Social distancing is a team effort. We can’t force people to maintain distance. We will inform and remind. We can’t force them to wear masks—we will model the behavior, though. We will clean and disinfect and that will slow down some things—so we need to talk about it.

Maybe other industries don’t see the need? Maybe they don’t know what to say or do? Maybe they assume customers will think they are following government/CDC guidelines and leaving it there? I can’t speak for them, but if ever there was a time to have a specific communication plan ready, this is that time.
We surveyed our customers weeks ago, and they told us what they wanted us to address—what they needed to know we were doing for them to feel safe enough to come back. That information, plus the specific recommendations in our local areas, plus the changes to how we do business, is what we used to build our plan and create the tools to deliver the information.
There are 30 million businesses in the United States. Most have 1 to 5 employees. Divide 5 into 14 million unemployed and you get nearly 3 million. 10% or more the total number of businesses. Most economists expect another 3 million businesses will simply cease to exist.
Q: If a city is put under curfew, do places of business have to close by that time and if not, are people still allowed to go to work if they will get out after the curfew begins?
Each curfew order can be different so you should always check the actual curfew order. They can be vague or specific to an age group. In general, however, you should:
- Close the business before the curfew begins, giving employees time to get out of the curfew area. So, if the curfew starts at 6:00pm then your business should close before 6; maybe as late as 5pm depending on the size of the curfew area.
- You should be out

- You should be out of the area or off the streets during the curfew hours. In fact, it’s better to be off the streets at least 20 to 30 minutes before and not more than 20 to 30 minutes after, just to make sure those enforcing the curfew are not ‘confused’ by the time.
- You do not travel into, through or out of the curfew area between the start and end of the curfew. If your employer says you have to be at work by 6am but the curfew ends at 6:30am then you are not allowed to enter the curfew during that time. You need to remind your employer of the curfew hours and area. The police won’t care if you’re late for work.
Don’t mess with a curfew in the United States at this time. Police departments are handling these protests and riots differently and you don’t need to find out the hard way that your police department is having a bad day.

So if businesses for some very legitimate reasons like the population is going “nuts “ people need to exercise and businesses need to make a living and by opening defy the Quebec government and effectively render the Premier impotent because his word can’t be enforced and law mean enforced public safety are broken.
.Maybe / not right now this is hypothetical but it’s going to play out if in Quebec as numbers keep rising and businesses become defiant this is happening all over North America in places with curfews and lockdowns.
In Michigan armed “wing nuts” plotted to kill the governor and walked into government buildings openly displaying rifles. The president was not reassuring in his comments.
Apparently zoom classes which I feel are a great alternative aren’t working for a lot for A lot of people in Quebec thank G-d we don’t have armed groups in government buildings yet.
I support curfews and lockdowns when necessary but I understand the other side and the pain it has causing I believe the governments need to do a better job compensating businesses for their losses and people need to remember that lives and the healthcare system are at stake.
Canadians may have this image of being polite and well behaved and usually “w...
I don’t go back to them.
They should close long enough to resolve the issue.
The reasons they might close:
Serving meals made with expired items.
Using improperly stored foods.
They have insects or rodents.
They have backed-up plumbing and the place stinks.
Workers were caught using their cell phones while handling food.
Having sick workers.
Serving undercooked meals.
I think what will happen is if the reichwing politicians get their way and start reopening businesses the number of COVID-19 cases will skyrocket. My opinion is to let the doctors decide when to reopen.
My guess is that the closures of schools, public events, and other gathering places was for initially for two weeks because officials thought that was the longest amount of time they could announce without causing widespread panic. Based on current CDC recommendations, I think that these closures will soon be extended for an additional 6 weeks. And then, once that becomes the new “normal”, the closures will be extended for an even longer period until we are past the point of the healthcare system becoming overwhelmed.
Unless hospital, or other situation where you ABSOLUTELY need to be at work and open, a business should close and lock up.
As a Nurse I have been on both sides, getting through a curfew area to get to work, and been trapped inside when rioters surrounded a hospital.
Both very scary.
Two weeks is 14 days, which is the amount of time it takes from initial exposure to the virus to showing symptoms. Ideally, the closures/isolation for everyone should be 3 weeks. If, after that time of 14+ days, you are still healthy, congratulations: you’ve successfully avoided corona! It’s the closures lasting LONGER than this that I don’t understand. If, after 14 days, you aren’t sick and you haven’t gone out anywhere to be exposed (essentially restarting your personal quarantine clock), what does it accomplish to continue isolation?
There's no consistency in the US at all. Different states, counties and cities have different laws or guidelines, which may or may not be followed.
If you keep that in mind, then here’s what happens with the curfew guidelines.
- The Feds issue something vague. This can be and often is ignored by a state.
- The governor of each state usually talks to the governors nearby. Then they:
- Choose to follow all or some of the Fed guidelines.
- May add their own.
- Decide how strictly to hold counties to the guidelines.
- Decide which counties have to follow the guidelines.

- tells each city to fill in what's left.
Most of the work is being done now at the state level. But there are 50 states. So by the time you filter through the counties and get down to the city level, there's simply no single way to answer this question.
Where I live:
If a city is put under curfew do places of business have to close by that time
It depends on the business. Our local businesses fall into roughly three categories:
- Businesses that attract lots of people, such as a restaurant, are closed to indoor traffic, but may bring food to you.
- A normal business, such as a furniture shop, is subject to a curfew. Yes, they must close at that time.
- Some businesses, such as a gas station or a hospital, are designated “essential” and don’t have a curfew. We constantly argue about what's really “essential.”
and if not, are people still allowed to go to work if they will get out after the curfew begins?
My local curfew is applied in different ways to different people.
- If I'm a customer, I must be home by the curfew.
- If I work at a normal business than I get an extra hour past curfew to clean up and close the business.
- If I work at an “essential” business then I'm not subject to curfew.
When I was sorting this out in my head while writing this, I couldn't help but think that non-Americans might think we're totally whacked. Purely crazy.
There's truth to that. I live near the border between two cities and I sometimes wonder what the heck the rules are: City A or City B?
But our system has two big advantages:
- It's flexible. This is great because the conditions here are quite different from the city just 30 klicks away.
- It empowers the local citizens. We get to set some of our own boundaries.
At present only about 66% of Americans willingly practice social distancing! This was according to a recent CNN poll (so you can take the results with a grain of salt). There is some resistance (Michigan, Texas and other southern states) that looks as though it comes from right-wing agitation. Don’t expect resistance to increase, because states are beginning to “open up” (hopefully the spike in COVID-19 will abate quickly).
Most businesses need people to continue… A curfew requires people to be in their homes at and during a curfew. It makes no sense for a business to remain open if all the people have gone home…
Doug’s answer is accurate, though possibly a bit conservative- 235 employees just lost their jobs as of this morning at a Duluth Wood Mill- and the company doesn’t expect to reopen any time soon, if at all- and I’m sure there’s more, if you count the businesses burned down due to the rioting recently.
Because people will accept a two week closure. At the end of that fortnight it will be extended for another two weeks, then extended again.
Definitely not, and if anything a lot of business travellers use “work” trips as an excuse for doing the type of partying they can’t get away with back home!
No! But if you are on a company sponsored business trip, the company will not look kindly if you arrive late to the morning meeting with red eyes, and a killer hangover. I can assure you that your career depends on what you bring to that meeting. Every smile, handshake, comment, suggestion will be noticed. Its best to stay away from ANY alcohol on these trips. Do not slur your career down the toilet. Ive seen it too often. One light beer should be your abdolute limit
Never had one, but you learn to control your down time with early to bed early to get up, you are not there on Vacation you are there to work and your time is valuable, so you have to make the most of it to make it productive for you and the Company you are representing.
You have a choice my friend
we can all stay indoors until everything runs out and we all die or we can act like adults and get on with things
are you self sufficient, doubt it but where do you think water, electricity, gas, food , petrol etc comes from
comes from people doing their jobs not sitting on thirst arse contributing fuck all other than clapping every thuresday
