Protected classes are still protected during a pandemic

There exists some confusion as to whether a business has the right to deny anyone they choose entry into their business. In fact, a business cannot exclude ANYONE from their business “for any reason.” It is illegal for a business to exclude people for their race, gender, age, disability, etc. These are termed protected classes because the law explicitly protects them from discrimination. Protected classes are STILL protected during a pandemic.
