The Governor’s guidance specifically addresses retail activities and business meetings at “miscellaneous venues”. The guidance further defines miscellaneous venues to include designated meeting space in events centers, fairgrounds, and non-profit establishments. In-person business meetings are permitted; occupancy in each room/area is limited to 25% capacity. Occupancy for an indoor retail event is limited to 25% capacity (including exhibitors). Outdoor events and/or gatherings are allowed under certain circumstances; the horse arena can continue to be used on an individual basis with no shows or events at this time.
