[Halld] Important update on COVID5 restrictions

[Eugene Chudakov]

It has been noticed that some shift takers (not in Hall D) violate COVID5 rules concerning the face masks and also share common food placed somewhere in the open.

The management reminds of the rules (I enclose a copy of a mail from Bob May):

=================================

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.

==================================

Our situation is easier since we have only one shift taker in the control room most of the time. But - please! -follow the rules. They are important for the safety of the personnel as well as for our mission!

I am asking Work Coordinator as well as Run Coordinators to see that the personnel in the counting house follow the COVID5 restrictions including those for eating and drinking.

Stay safe,
Eugene
