Spread joy, not germs: Take precautions this holiday season
 

Have happy, healthy holidays! Below are safety requirements all clinical sites will follow this year when having holiday celebrations and meals:

  • Meeting room(s) should accommodate a minimum of a 3-foot separation between people and away from the food access area.
  • Events will be limited to packaged meals, including all food, beverages, utensils, etc.
  • Expectations for safe practices should be communicated and clarified with all attendees:
    • Participants will self-monitor for symptoms and only enter the room (and building) if they are free of any symptoms.
    • Hand sanitizers will be provided within the room.
    • Hand hygiene will be completed upon room entry and before/after food access.
    • Masks may be removed for consumption of food/beverages while ensuring the 3-foot separation between participants.
  • The event organizer is responsible for coordinating safety measures such as: packaged meals, 3 foot separation, hand sanitizers, communication, and disinfection of touch surfaces in the room promptly after the event.
