ROB: THANKS MUCH. BUSINESSES ACROSS JACKSON, JOHNSON, AND WYANDOTTE COUNTIES ARE PREPARING TO REOPEN TOMORROW. TOMORROW STAY-AT-HOME ORDERS WILL BE LIFTED IN THOSE THREE COUNTIES. RESTAURANTS AND STORES WILL BE ALLOWED TO REOPEN UNDER CERTAIN GUIDELINES. KMBC 9’S BIANCA BELTRAN SPOKE TO THE MANAGER OF A RESTAURANT IN OVERLAND PARK ABOUT CHANGES THEY’RE MAKING AS THEY PREPARE TO WELCOME CUSTOMERS BACK IN. BIANCA: WHEN CUSTOMERS WALK THROUGH THE DOORS AT THE PEANUT, THEY’LL NOTICE A DIFFERENT LAYOUT. >> WE’VE PULLED ABOUT 50% OF OUR TABLES, WHICH HAS GIVEN US THAT SIX FOOT DISTANCE BETWEEN OUR GUESTS. BIANCA: BLOCKED OFF TABLES ARE NOW SANTATION STATIONS. >> WE’VE PULLED HALF OF OUR BAR STOOLS, SO THAT LEAVES US WITH ABOUT SEVEN. BIANCA: WITH FEWER SEATS, CUSTOMERS MAY HAVE TO WAIT OUTSIDE WHEN THE RESTAURANT FILLS UP QUICKER. WHEN THEY ARE SEATED, THEY’LL FIND Q.R. CODES AT ALL THE TABLES. >> ALL THAT OUR PATRONS HAVE TO DO IS PULL OUT THEIR CAMERA, SCAN THE Q.R. CODE AND THE MENU POPS ON THEIR PHONES SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO EVEN TOUCH A MENU. BIANCA: SOME OF THESE IDEAS CAME FROM COLLABORATING WITH COMPETITORS. >> WE CALLED SOME OF THE PEOPLE WE’VE TRIED TO DRAW BUSINESS FROM IN THE PAST, NOW WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO FIGURE PRECAUTIONS. BIANCA: CARRY OUT WILL CONTINUE AS A RETURN TO FULL CAPACITY IN PHASES. >> PROFIT MARGINS ARE VERY TIGHT TO BEGIN WITH AND NOW WITH THE DECREASE IN SALES THEY’VE BECOME EVEN TIGHTER. BIANCA: KHALIL ASKS CUSTOMERS TO HAVE PATIENCE AS RESTAURANTS EVERYWHERE NAVIGATE UNCHARTED WATERS. >> ALL WE CAN DO NOW IS SUPERB PREPARATION. ROB: UNDER JOHNSON COUNTY’S REOPENING PLAN, RESTAURANTS CAN SEAT A MAXIMUM OF TEN PEOPLE PER TABLE AND THEY MUST KEEP TABLES SIX FEET APART. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI BUSINESSES WILL BE ALLOWED TO OPEN, WITH RESTRICTIONS, ON FRIDAY, MAY 15. MAYOR QUINTON LUCAS SAYS THERE WILL BE NO EXTENSION OF THE STAY-AT-HOME ORDER. HIS DECISION COMES DESPITE AN OUTBREAK AT A SENIOR LIVING CENTER IN THE NORTHLAND. THE MAYOR SAYS TESTING CONTINUES AT THE MCCRITE PLAZA IN THE BRIARCLIFF AREA. HE EXPECTS MORE CASES WILL BE REPORTED THERE. WHEN BUSINESSES REOPEN IN KANSAS CITY, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE 10-10-10 RULE. THAT MEANS ONLY 10% OF A BUILDING’S CAPACITY OR 10 PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED INSIDE, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. BUSINESSES ARE ALSO ASKED TO CONSIDER HAVING ANYONE THERE LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES, SIGN IN. BUT THAT IS NOT REQUIRED. MORE PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO GET TESTED FOR COVID-19 IN KANSA CITY, MISSOURI THIS WEEKEND. MOBILE TESTING WAS HOSTED AND SPONSORED BY DELLA LAMB COMMUNITY SERVICES. IT WAS AT THE CORNER OF INDEPENDENCE AVENUE AND HIGHLAND AVENUE. ANYONE SHOWING AT LEAST ONE SYMPTOM OF THE VIRUS COULD GET TESTED. ALL THE TESTS WERE GIVEN BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS FROM TRUMAN MEDICAL CENTER. THERE WERE ALSO TRANSLATORS ON SITE. >> WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF LANGUAGE BARRIERS AND THAT EXISTS FOR COVID TESTING AND ACCESSIBILITY TO OTHER RESOURCES. SO THE HISTORIC NORTHEAST WAS A PERFECT LOCATION TO HAVE A NUMBER OF TRANSLATORS ON SITE TO HELP WITH THE TESTING. ROB: TESTING WAS DONE WITH A NOSE SWAB. A VALID ID AND PHONE NUMBER WERE REQUIRED. HERE’S A BREAKDOWN OF COVID-19 CASES. LEAVENWORTH COUNTY HAS 1100 CASES PER 100,000 PEOPLE. IN WYANDOTTE COUNTY, THAT NUMBER IS 638. FOLLOWED BY 148 IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. BOTH JACKSON COUNTY AND JOHNSON COUNTY HAS 99 CASES PER 100,000 PEOPLE. WE DO WANT TO REMIND YOU OF THE SYMPTOMS YOU NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR. IF YOU HAVE IT, YOU MIGHT EXPERIENCE A FEVER, COUGH, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, CHILLS, REPEATED SHAKING, HEADACHE, SORE THROAT, OR LOSS OF TASTE
