It’s official: some Sapulpa businesses will open back up tomorrow. Will you be there?

Sapulpa Mayor Lou Martin signed a Fourth Proclamation Thursday afternoon that puts Sapulpa in alignment with Governor Stitt’s plan to reopen the economy in three phases. Phase one officially starts tomorrow, April 24th and stipulates that personal care businesses, such as hair salons, barbershops, spas, nail salons, and pet groomers can reopen for appointments only, must adhere to sanitation protocols, and follow guidelines posted on the Oklahoma Department of Commerce website regarding social distancing between customers and visitors at personal care businesses. If certain goals are met, then on May 11th, dining, entertainment, movie theatres, and sporting venues can operate using CDC-recommended social distancing and sanitation protocols. Gyms and places of worship can reopen with some restrictions and Tattoo Parlors can open by appointment, also with certain protocols in place. Bars will have to remain closed.

As expressed in Governor Stitt’s “Open Up and Recover Safely” plan, the phased rollouts are dependent on a certain set of criteria based on keeping hospitalizations and incidents are at a manageable level. If the situation begins to change, the Governor—and now the Mayor—may repeal this new Proclamation if “assessment of the pandemic so warrants.”
