MOVEMENT AND ACTIVITY

Gathering Size

Risk levels and color-coded health indicators provide situational awareness to help make informed decisions and make adjustments necessary in industry guidelines in order to prevent further spread and impact of the virus in communities; especially among vulnerable populations. The following recommendations for industry protocols should be followed along with meeting public health criteria to ensure there is no increased risk of exposure or uncontrolled transmission in the community. • Capacity should be limited to a percentage of normal

operating capacity for controlled and managed facilities or capped at a total number. If there is no way to control access of entry (egress), spread out activities to double the normal footprint. » Red/Critical Risk Level — This is the area with the

highest disease burden and level of significant and uncontrolled community transmission, multiple outbreaks resulting in increased deaths, surge capacity of hospitals are threatened, and there is lack of adequate PPE supplies available for healthcare workers. Only essential travel and services are open.

Gathering Size

» Orange/High Risk Level — This is the level of significant transmission and risk for exposure due to widespread community spread of infections. Implement strategies emphasizing Stay Home. Stay Healthy. Stay Connected. Only essential work and travel are open. Limit gathering size to 10 people or less. Additional restrictions for high-risk individuals, personal care services are closed, schools are closed but offering distance learning, home is highly encouraged when gatherings, events and fitness and recreational centers are closed and foodservice operations are limited to takeout or delivery.

» Yellow/Moderate Risk Level — This is the level of heightened risk for exposure but where transmission is controlled in the area AND health criteria is met. Group gatherings are limited by certificate of occupancy for the room or seating area according to industry-specific Smart Restart protocols and social distancing is maintained. Cancel gatherings of any size where distancing cannot be maintained.

» Green/Low Risk Level — This is the level of low risk for exposure and when transmission is controlled in the jurisdiction AND health criteria is met. Group gatherings are limited by certificate of occupancy for the room or seating area according to industry-specific Smart Restart protocols and social distancing is maintained. Cancel gatherings of any size where distancing cannot be maintained.

» Blue/New Normal Level — This is the lowest level of risk for exposure and when transmission in the jurisdiction AND health criteria is met. It is the time when most normal occupancy activity can resume with heightened cleaning, standard precautions and awareness of health guidelines.

Physical Distancing Mark six-foot increments where lines form.

Workplace Activity

Post signage (state provided) at all entrances of the facility informing all employees and customers that they should: • Avoid entering the facility if they have a cough or fever. • Maintain a minimum six-foot distance from one another. • Wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20

seconds. • Limit unnecessary contact such as hugging and shaking hands.
