Local businesses are continuing to feel the trickle down effect of the coronavirus.

More than 150 types of “non-life-sustaining” businesses were forced to close by 8 p.m. Thursday as Gov. Tom Wolf strengthened the state’s efforts to limit person-to-person contact.

Late Friday night, the governor extended the enforcement period from Saturday to Monday.

Per Wolf’s order, businesses such as grocery stores, beer distributors, gas stations, pharmacies and building material stores are allowed to stay open.

Though his business made the cut this time around, Dunbar Bottling Co. owner Craig Gilham said if he gets the call to close his Lehighton beer distributor, he’ll comply.

“Fortunately we’re able to stay open right now but if we’re told to close, we’ll close,” Gilham said. “I feel bad for any business in that situation. We don’t want to see anyone closing.”

More than just beer, Dunbar’s also has an assortment of snacks, soda and water.

“We even tried to get paper towels and toilet paper to sell but we couldn’t find any suppliers to get it to us,” Gilham said.

As the push for more people to listen to the state’s recommendations on quarantining continues, Gilham said he does see his customers taking things seriously.

“We had a guy today shopping with his own can of Lysol wipes and wearing gloves,” he said.

Take-out, delivery and curbside or drive-thru pickup remain the only options for restaurants and bars, though some have chosen to temporarily shut the doors anyway.

Barn Door Pizza in Towamensing Township will be open through the end of business Sunday and then close, according to a post on its Facebook page.

“After careful consideration of our employees’ well-being, and the well-being of our community, Barn Door Pizza has decided to close beginning this Monday,” the post said. “We will reopen when it is deemed safe to reopen.”

Those businesses ordered by the governor to shut down include furniture stores, florists, office supply stores, car dealers, clothing stores, law firms, accounting offices, and varying types of manufacturers.

Wolf said businesses in noncompliance could face citations, fines or license suspensions, and “forfeit their ability to receive any applicable disaster relief and/or may be subject to other appropriate administrative action.”

Criminal prosecution, he said, also remains a possibility.

The Wolf administration said questions on who should close and who can stay open should be emailed to ra-dcedcs@pa.gov. Waivers and exemptions to the closure order can be sought through RA-dcexemption@pa.gov.

On Friday, the Carbon Chamber and Economic Development Corp. announced that the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority would provide up to $100,000 to eligible small businesses at 0% interest with no payments due for 12 months after funding. CCEDC is currently awaiting guidance from PIDA on the application process and more information will be available shortly. CCEDC will assist all business with these applications.

At the federal level, the Small Business Administration will soon have the Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance available for businesses. The loans can be used to cover expenses still incurred during the shutdown period.
