● Adding restrictions prohibiting operation of personal care establishments such as salons, nail studios, barbershops, tanning salons, beauty parlors, and body art establishments (like tattoo and piercing parlors)

● Adding restrictions on regular services or other routine gatherings at houses of worship unless the purpose of the gathering is related to assisting in the response, such as the provision of day care services.
