  • Do not allow an employee with known close contact to a person who is lab-confirmed to have COVID-19 to return to work until the end of the 14 day self-quarantine period from the last date of exposure (with an exception granted for healthcare workers and critical infrastructure workers).

  • Have employees wash or sanitize their hands upon entering the museum or library, and between interactions with visitors.

  • Have employees maintain at least 6 feet separation from other individuals. If such distancing is not feasible, measures such as face covering, hand hygiene, cough etiquette, cleanliness, and sanitation should be rigorously practiced.

  • If an employer provides a meal for employees, employers are recommended to have the meal individually packed for each employee.

  • Consistent with the actions taken by many businesses across the state, consider having all employees wear cloth face coverings (over the nose and mouth). If available, employees should consider wearing non-medical grade face masks.

Health protocols for your facilities:

  • Regularly and frequently clean and disinfect any regularly touched surfaces, such as doorknobs, tables, chairs, and restrooms.

  • Disinfect any items that come into contact with visitors.

  • Make hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, soap and water, or similar disinfectant readily available to employees and visitors.

  • Place readily visible signage at the facility to remind everyone of best hygiene practices.
