Safe Return to Planning Council Plan

Planning Council Support and the RWHAP Part A and B’s office have worked together closely to develop a Safe Return to Planning Council plan that outlines our minimum precautions and processes for conducting in-person meetings. We encourage you to please review the safety plan below and contact PCS with any questions or concerns.

Safe Return to Planning Council

Building Safety

• Masks or face coverings will be required and worn by persons at all times except during eating – PCS will make disposable masks available to those who need them.
• One person will be posted downstairs to help usher and limit the number of people entering the building and elevator at one time.
• Attendees will be asked to take their temperature upon entry to the building. Individuals with a temperature exceeding 100.4 F will be asked to leave.
• Signage will be used to display a list of symptoms of illness related to COVID-19. Individuals demonstrating any of these symptoms will be asked to leave.
• Restrooms will be accessible. Meeting attendees are encouraged to exercise caution when using the restroom, as we cannot limit access to the restroom.

Room Safety

• PCS has reserved the largest room available at DOH Central (capacity: 40) and will remove/rearrange furniture to ensure enough room for social distancing (at least 6 ft per person).
• Room capacity will be limited with priority given to regular and associate members of the scheduled meeting.
• All tables, doorknobs and surfaces will be wiped down before and after the meeting.
• Hand sanitizer and wipes will be available throughout the room.
• Distance markers and arrows will be used to indicate the direction and spacing of foot traffic.
• PCS will use verbal announcements, signage, and visual cues to promote social distancing.

Meetings with Food (When Applicable)

• Individual boxed meals only, no shared/buffet style.
• Individually packaged eating utensils only.
• Individual water bottles only; No Keurig (coffeemaker) or community beverage items will be offered.
• Meal varieties will be organized together and signage will be used to indicate each meal to prevent attendees from congregating at a table.
• PCS will help usher individuals to the food table to ensure social distancing.
