[Hallb] Fwd: [EXTERNAL] Concerns re hall shift crews not following COVID protocols

[Stepan Stepanyan]

Dear all,

This is a reminder of rules while you are onsite taking shifts. Email from Marco outlines how you should proceed with the social distancing, face masks, and capacity restrictions. Take into account that Hall-B counting room can have no more than 3 people at one time, with proper distancing.

Regards, Stepan
PDL

> This is what we should remind to all shift takers and personnel on-site:
> The Department of Energy has adopted the CDC guidance and now recommends all persons wear face coverings when they cannot maintain 6-feet of social distance in public areas on any DOE facility. Jefferson Lab supports this recommendation from our public health officials and DOE. Employees, Users, subcontractors and visitors may wear personally owned cloth face masks for additional protection while on campus. The June 1, 2020 TJNAF Resumption of On-Site Operations Plan requires that Social Distancing, Capacity Restrictions, Face Coverings are all required and In-person Meetings are not allowed. It's pretty clear that "removing masks in close proximity to other shift members while having conversations inside the control room" are inconsistent with the requirements. Although it may be a bit less clear, eating cafeteria style is alsoinconsistent with the requirements.

> You are strongly invited to follow the rules listed below:
> 
> 1) adhere to counting room capacity restrictions 
> 
> 2) maintain 6 ft. separation (briefly passing another person inside 6 ft. while moving about the counting room is inevitable and is OK) 
> 
> 3) wear masks anytime more than one person present in the counting room 
> 
> 4) at MEDCON 5 the lab has no cafeteria services because eating "cafeteria style" (eating in common from prepared food) is inconsistent with COVID-19 controls. Staging food in the counting room to share is inconsistent with MEDCON 5 COVID-19 controls. 
> 
> 5) food and drink consumption - because it requires removing face coverings to consume -  should be limited to packaged food and drink brought for personal use that is consumed while maintaining at least 6 ft. from the nearest person and ideally, consumed in a separate room from others
