- Personal cleaning of their work areas including desks, computers, phones etc
- Personal hygiene, including frequent hand washing and use of hand sanitiser.
Ensure your team is safe by:

Encouraging minimal contact (limit handling of money)
-
Install sneeze guards if necessary in reception areas
-
Provide and promote hand sanitiser for patrons to use on entering your facility
-
Display symptom reminders for patrons.
Identify high traffic areas accessed by the public and establish procedures to adequately clean these surfaces, as they may present a higher risk for COVID-19 transmission. The cleaning frequency should be increased to at least twice per day when the venue is in use.
