• Maximum occupancy at any one time should not exceed 50% of the fire code capacity
• Landlords provide soap and running water or alcohol-based hand rubs with at least 60% alcohol
• Landlords ensure that persons using the equipment maintain a minimum of 6 feet apart (by moving or turning off the machines)
• Locker rooms, showers, saunas, etc. must remain closed, but bathrooms should remain open
Pools/Hot Tubs
Swimming pools may re-open IF:
• Hot tubs remain closed
• Capacity is limited to 50% of the fire code capacity
• Swimmers maintain 6 feet distance, unless living in the same residence
• Swimmers bring their own towels and minimize time spent as a courtesy to others
• Restrooms and showers remain open and landlords limit the number of users at one time
• Lockers/locker rooms remain closed
• Deck furniture is spaced at least 6 feet apart, unless users live in the same residence
Local Empowerment Advisory Panel (LEAP) Recommendations
There appears to be some minor contradictions between the Governor’s Directive and the LEAP guidelines he stated Landlords should follow. All landlords should at least follow the above guidelines, but LEAP and the CDC have suggested also:
In Pools:
• Remove all lounge chairs
• No face coverings worn in the water
• Require reservations or limits on time spent in the pool area
• Designate 6 feet of spacing for residents by lane lines in the pool and/or using tape and visual cues on the ground
Closed Areas:
• Deep disinfection of all commonly-touched surfaces at least daily, preferably after each work shift
• Limit use of fans and have fans blow away from people
• Enable natural ventilation
• Administer health questionnaires for symptoms upon entry
• Designate a COVID-19 Point of Contact for people to contact with their concerns

**The Governor states that Phase 2 should last approximately 2-3 weeks, and then there may be another 2-3 weeks until we reach the final phase, Phase 4. We anticipate that the moratorium may last until the Recovery Plan is complete, approximately 4-6 weeks from now (end of June-mid July).
