5 Rules for Reopening Continue:
In alignment with Governor Holcomb’s “Back On Track” plan and as advised by our local health officer and dozens of industry, medical, and YMCA resources, members and staffare still expected to follow 5 Rules for Reopening:
1. KEEP your DISTANCE.
–Please maintain at least 6 feet between you and others who are not part of your household.
–Personal items like gym bags, water bottles, towels, etc. should be kept separate from others as much as possible.
2. WASH your HANDS (a LOT).
–20 seconds of soap and water or applying hand sanitizer will STOP most germs and viruses including COVID-19 from lingering.
–Along with NOT TOUCHING YOUR FACE, frequent hand washing significantly reduces your chances of infection.
3. DON’T COUGH on OTHERS.
–Face coverings will not be required for members or staff if 6’ distancing is maintained.
–PLEASE COVER your COUGH or sneeze regardless of distancing.
4. STAY HOME if you’re SICK.
–If you are exhibiting symptoms at the Y, we will ask you to submit to a health screen,including a temperature check.
–We will ask staff and members who do not pass to go home and not return until fever free for at least 72 hours.
5. KNOW YOUR personal RISKS.
–People age 65 or older and/or those with weakened immune systems, heart or respiratory issues, or other risk factors should STRONGLY CONSIDER WAITING to come back to the Y until the virus has subsided.
–While we have more than DOUBLED our normal cleaning and disinfection,
we CANNOT GUARANTEE a germ-free environment.
USE the YMCA at YOUR OWN RISK.
THANK YOU again for your support, and we look forward to saying “WELCOME BACK!” to you in the coming weeks. Until then, take care, stay safe and healthy, and continue helping when and where you can.
