Use a diluted household bleach solution if appropriate for the surface: 5 tablespoons (1/3 cup) bleach per gallon of water; or 4 teaspoons of bleach per quart of water.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application and proper ventilation.
Do not use it if the product is past its expiration date.
NEVER mix bleach with ammonia or other household cleaners.Use an alcohol solution with at least 70% alcohol.
Wear disposable gloves when cleaning and disinfecting surfaces.
Discard gloves after use, or, if reusable gloves are used, they should be dedicated only for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces for COVID-19 and no other purposes.
Clean hands immediately after gloves are removed.Clean hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Remember to keep all cleaning products out of the reach of children at all times.
Businesses and other organizations may exceed this maximum occupancy level based on a demonstrated need for relief based on public health or public safety considerations or where strict compliance may interfere with the continued delivery of critical services
Ensure separation of 6 feet or more between individuals unless this creates a safety hazard due to the nature of the work or the configuration of the workspace
Close or reconfigure worker common spaces and high density areas where workers are likely to congregate (e.g., break rooms, eating areas) to allow 6 feet of physical distancing; redesign work stations to ensure physical distancing (e.g., separate tables, use distance markers to assure spacing)
Cafeterias may operate only with prepackaged food, practicing physical distancing and appropriate hygiene measures
