As many states across the country are slowly allowing businesses from various sectors to reopen, there are still some that need assistance to help them fully get back on their feet. 

The Former Governor of New Mexico

In New Mexico, a former leader of the state had become a significant figure for many business owners across the state for various reasons. Former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson had been helping those who go to him by serving as an intermediary at relaying the public's concerns to the current administration of the state. 

It was reported in an article that the relationship between Richardson and the state's current government under the leadership of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham was in harmony as many restaurant businesses that went to former governor Richards for assistance had their concerns delivered to the current governor of the state. 

Furthermore, Richardson was reported to show his support to the current leadership of the state. 

Richardson supports the idea of reopening businesses across the state. The restaurant owners who asked for his help requested the former governor of the state to help them devise a plan to reopen. 

How Would Reopening Businesses Look Like?

By allowing businesses to reopen, they will help the state's economy by offering job opportunities to those who lost their jobs after businesses that were classified as non-essential were ordered to temporarily shut down amid the lockdown orders. However, one major problem that these businesses need to focus on as they prepare for their reopening is how they can implement COVID-19 preventive measures and the plans they need to make for the safety of their staff, customers, and other stakeholders. They will need to include in their daily operations and budget the frequent cleaning and sanitation of their workspaces and facilities. Furthermore, they will need to include in their budget, the purchasing of personal protective equipment for their staff, they may even need to provide ones for their customers just like Apple.
