“As parks and other public places begin to open, it is important to continue taking precautions. Individuals should still be covering their nose and mouth with a facemask, washing hands frequently, and keeping their distance. We are not out of the woods yet,” said Cape May County Health Officer Kevin Thomas.
The Cape May County Health Department recommends following the 5 step CDC approach for reopening a business to insure that restarting our economy and returning people to work will be done methodically, strategically, and responsibly. The Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention (CDC) just released guidance to assist employers in making decisions regarding reopening during the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides continuing to follow the recommendations issued by state and local health departments when determining the most appropriate actions to take, you should pay attention to these five steps.
- Consider Preliminary Questions before Reopening
- Take Recommended Safety Actions
- Implement Safeguards for the Ongoing Monitoring of Employees
- Prepare Your Physical Workspace for Reopening
- Maintain Vigilance
