REUTERS: As U.S. businesses reopen after weeks of pandemic lockdowns, many have been posting coronavirus disclaimers or requiring employees and patrons to sign waivers before entering.

Lawyers said it would be tough to prove a business caused a customer's illness, but concerns are so intense that a waiver may soon become the new normal. Missoula, Montana-based lawyer Paige Marie Griffith created a waiver for COVID-19, the respiratory illness related to the novel coronavirus, that business owners can buy and customize online. Events industry workers, including makeup artists and wedding photographers, are using them, she said."As essential as we feel, everyone getting their hair done is choosing to do so," said Cody Brooke, who owns 10th Avenue Hair Designs in Pensacola, Florida.

Ryan Reiffert did not mind signing a waiver recently for the gym where he practices martial arts near San Antonio, Texas. He had symptoms in March and later learned from antibody testing that had likely contracted the virus.A gym attendant sprayed disinfectant on Reiffer's hands and feet before he could enter, he said.Walt Disney Co's website cites"severe illness and death" risks for customers at its Orlando, Florida, amusement parks due to reopen on July 11th.
