KALISPELL — Local health officials are ordering that more businesses close in Flathead County due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
Flathead City-County Health Department Officer Hillary Hanson says all body art establishments, hair, cosmetic, or nail salons, barbershops, and all massage services -- except those contained within state-licensed physical therapy and chiropractic practices – close at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.
“These facilities provide services for which they are unable to practice social distancing and they were not mentioned in the Governor’s Directive,” Hanson explained. “We have received an influx of feedback from these facilities expressing concern about their risk and this order supplements the Governor’s Directive to address this risk."
