COVID-19 RESPONSE – Enjoy The Holidays More Safely

1. REMEMBER THE 3 W’s:

WASH your hands, thoroughly and frequently; avoid touching your face.

WEAR your face covering, over the nose and mouth; mandatory in Park Tower Common Areas.

WATCH your distance, at least 6’ distance between you and those not in your household whenever possible.

2. Park Tower ELEVATOR CAPACITY is set at a strict maximum of 4 individuals at a time. Wait for the next elevator whenever necessary and be respectful to those who request you take the next elevator. There may be a good reason, such as a health related concern.

3. STAY AT HOME. Avoid travel and plan indoor activities. Cooking, games, movie marathons, reading, etc. If you do travel, plan well ahead. Get destination specific recommendations online from the CDC and W.H.O. VISIT: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/map-and-travel-notices.html

4. AVOID HOSTING GUESTS, or attending activities or social events with those not already a part of your present household. Unnecessary traffic in and out, and exposure to others whose behavior you can’t control can be very High Risk right now. If you are hosting or attending an activity, keep in mind:

LOWEST RISK: Virtual-only activities, events, and gatherings.

MORE RISK: Smaller outdoor and in-person gatherings in which individuals from different households remain spaced at least 6 feet apart, wear masks, do not share objects, and come from the same local area (community, town, city, or county).

HIGHER RISK: Medium-sized in-person gatherings that are adapted to allow individuals to remain spaced at least 6 feet apart and with attendees coming from outside the local area.

HIGHEST RISK: Large in-person gatherings where it is difficult for individuals to remain spaced at least 6 feet apart and attendees travel from outside the local area.

5. HOSTING OR ATTENDING A GATHERING? This Thanksgiving, please consider these additional steps for the improved health and safety of yourself, your family and the community:

BYOF – Bring your own food, drinks, plates, cups, and utensils.

FOLLOW THE 3 W’s – And store your Face Covering safely while eating and drinking.

LIMIT TRAFFIC – In and out of the areas where food is being prepared or handled, such as kitchen. If food is served, have one person dishing it out.

USE SINGLE USE PRODUCTS – like salad dressing and condiment packets, and disposable items like food containers, plates, and utensils.
