MILWAUKEE — We understand how hard this time has been for our small businesses that had been closed for more than two months.
TMJ4 News is determined to help you find resources to get back to work.
Charlotte Fairburn's medispa Aesthetics 360 Face & Body Center has been closed since mid-March.
As part of the city's 'Moving Forward Milwaukee' plan, she can reopen now with one customer per employee. She is waiting until May 26. In the meantime, a new air sanitation and purification system is up and running in her Third Ward business. She explained, “The UV light kills the viruses, the pathogens, the bacteria.”
Along with creating three separate waiting areas, every customer and staff member’s temperatures will be taken with a no-contact forehead thermometer. Everyone will wear face masks. You can bring your phone in just don’t touch it.
