MUSCATINE, Iowa–In addition to following all directives of the Governor as outlined in proclamations,
entities considering reopening must adhere to the following public health guidance:
- Follow CDC guidance related to Cleaning and Disinfection for Community Facilities,
including frequent cleaning and disinfecting of all high touch surfaces. - Encourage and provide supplies to allow for frequent hand washing and hand sanitizing
for employees and the public. - Provide reminders to employees and members of the public to stay at least six feet away
from others when in the facility and mark six foot intervals when possible. - Post signage at the door indicating no one should enter the establishment if they
currently have symptoms or have been around anyone with a confirmed COVID-19
diagnosis in the last 14 days. - If an employee or a member of the public becomes ill while at the facility, ask them to
share that information with management, leave the facility and then call their health care
provider. - Members of the public and employees should consider the use of cloth face coverings
(when practical) if staying at least six feet away from others is not possible. - Anyone who is high risk for more severe COVID-19 illness should continue to stay
home. - Businesses should continue to follow IDPH’s business guidance related to preventing,
detecting and reporting outbreaks. - Businesses should use messaging to remind employees of steps they should be taking
to protect their own health while at work.
