The small business commission listed several businesses that they recommended may reopen immediately. Within that release, the commission recommended that race tracks reopen on Friday, May 1st.
The commission recommended that race tracks take their employees’ temperatures before they enter, sanitize and practice social distancing.
This plan was approved by the commission but is only a recommendation. This would have to be approved by the state before put into action.
