Denison Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Mar. 27.
Additional restrictions have just been placed on our local businesses through an expanded Public Health Disaster Emergency Proclamation by Governor Kim Reynolds, effective 10pm this evening (Thursday March 26).
However, we have verified through Representative Steve Holt a couple key details:
• Even if your retail establishment must close its doors to the public, you can still offer curbside pickup, delivery and online sales.
• Restaurants can still offer curbside and delivery also.
Here are some details on the newest proclamation from the Des Moines Register:
“Here are the changes Reynolds outlined as part of the expanded Public Health Disaster Emergency Proclamation:
• All existing closures, including restaurants and bar closures, were extended an additional week to April 7. That is effective as of 10 p.m. Thursday.
• She also ordered the closure of additional retail — book stores; clothing and shoe stores; jewelry stores; luggage stores; cosmetic, perfume and beauty supply stores; furniture stores; florists and home furnishing stores."
We are talking to our legislators about these restrictions and advocating for common sense measures we hear from our members. Local businesses: please reach out to us with any changes in your operations.
