May 1, 2020

SEMA continues to monitor the evolving Coronavirus outbreak and track what this means for the industry.

May 1, 2020—Many states have taken the first steps toward loosening restrictions and reopening their economies. SEMA has compiled a state-by-state directory of closures and openings, including businesses and workers deemed essential during COVID-19, according to a SEMA press release.

One example is Texas, which is having retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters and malls reopen May 1 at 25 percent capacity.

The SEMA website also includes best practices for reopening published by government and industry. Businesses are encouraged to consult state and local law when deciding to reopen.
