The Initiative has assisted local industry leaders in creating health and safety plans and protocols, along with public health officials, to help guide the reopening of businesses. As part of the Initiative, small working groups that tapped industry experts were convened to provide input in a variety of key segments. Policies put in place will help provide health and safety for all as we start St. Louis' recovery. SAFETY IS THE TOP PRIORITY St. Louis officials are carefully monitoring COVID-19.
