(KLZA)-- Directive Health Measures are being amended for some Nebraska businesses in less than two weeks.

The changes will include churches, restaurants, barbershops, salons, massage therapists, day cares and tattoo parlors.

Governor Pete Ricketts announced the changes that will go into effect May 4 during his daily COVID-19 update on Friday.

Church services, weddings and funerals will be allowed without the 10-person limit. Household members will be able to sit together, but must have 6-feet between themselves and members of another household.

There will be no passing things in church, how communion can be set up and sanitizing pews between services.

Restaurants will be able to serve customers in their buildings again starting on the 4th. Only 50 percent of the allowed occupancy can be in the restaurant and there will be a limit of 6 per table and tables must be six feet apart.
Restaurant staff members will have to wear masks.

Both workers and customers will need to wear masks in some businesses including barbershops, beauty salons, massage therapy facilities and tattoo parlors.

Bars will not be opening to the public until at least the end of May. Carryout will still be allowed, but there will be no customers served inside bars.

The amended restrictions will be in place in 10 of the 19 Health Districts across the state including the Southeast District Health Department.
