We follow the City of Miami COVID guidelines and protocols. Please see latest update in this link: Stand Up Miami Covid and recovery
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The masking, social distancing, and other safety precautions included in these guidelines reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, but do not eliminate the risk entirely. We can all take these actions to protect ourselves, our families, and others throughout our communities. This applies to people who have already been vaccinated, too.
Always:
▪ Stay home when sick.
▪ Stay at least 6 feet apart from other people.
▪ Wear face coverings while indoors and outdoors.
▪ Wash your hands often.
▪ Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
▪ Don’t touch face (mouth, nose, eyes) after touching a surface without washing/sanitizing hands.
General Business Guidelines
The following guidelines are evidence-based practices with universal business application to reduce the spread of COVID-19 within the community.
Facial Covering
A. A mask is NOT a substitute for social distancing. Masks must still be worn in addition to staying at least 6 feet apart, especially when indoors around people who don’t live in your household.
B. People age 2 and older must wear a mask while in public settings and when around people who do not live in their household.
C. Masks must completely cover the nose and mouth and fit snugly against the sides of face without gaps.
D. Masks must always be worn while in public settings unless you are actively eating or drinking in designated areas, such as at your seat or physically distanced individual tables.
E. Masks must be worn any time you are traveling on a plane, bus, train, taxi, or other form of public transportation.
F. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol after touching or removing your mask.
G. Masks may not be necessary when you are outside by yourself or with people who live in your household, provided you can maintain a distance of at least 10 feet and have a mask with you to put on when you encounter other people.
H. Do not wear a mask when doing activities that may get your mask wet, like swimming at the beach or pool. A wet mask can make it difficult to breathe and may not work as well when wet.
I. Masks must always be worn while in public settings, but if you are unable to wear a mask because of difficulty breathing during high intensity activities, choose a location with greater ventilation and air exchange (for instance, outdoors versus indoors) and where you can maintain COVID SAFETY GUIDELINES Page | 7 physical distance from others during the activity. If such a location is not available, opt for lowintensity activities such as walking or yoga that allow for mask wearing.
J. The CDC recommends wearing a mask while dining in a restaurant, particularly indoors and when speaking with restaurant workers and servers, except when actively eating or drinking. The risk of COVID-19 spread increases in a restaurant or bar setting as interactions within 6 feet of others increase.
Physical Distancing
A. Maintain at least 6 feet of physical distance from people not members of the same household.
B. The CDC allows physical distancing to be at least 3 feet for daycare and elementary school age children in a classroom setting, provided there is universal masking at all times and the adults continue to maintain the current physical distancing recommendations of at least 6 feet. See CDC Guidance.
C. Facilities must promote physical distancing by closing or configuring common spaces and highdensity areas where people are likely to congregate.
D. Redesign workstations to allow for at least 6 feet of physical distancing. Use physical partitions to separate workstations that cannot be spaced out; partitions must be at least 6 feet tall.
E. Employers must configure break rooms to adhere to physical distancing requirements or limit to using appliances such as coffee makers, refrigerators, or microwaves.
F. Post signs or markers near restrooms to remind people to maintain the appropriate social distance of at least 6 feet.
G. Establish specific hours for admittance for people at higher risk for severe COVID-19 complications; consider offering virtual services to these members.
H. Encourage use of technological solutions where possible to reduce person to person interaction (e.g., contactless payment, mobile ordering, and curbside pick-up).
I. Limit the number of individuals riding in an elevator to allow for physical distancing and ensure the use of face coverings. Use signage to communicate these requirements.
