Great News: On Friday May 8th, California Governor Gavin Newsom released guidelines for office buildings to reopen if workers are not able to work remotely. In order to open, companies must follow these new rules:
Train employees on safety and self-screening
Do temperature and/or symptom screenings daily for employees
Redesign office spaces to allow for 6 feet of spacing between workers
Close or restrict common areas
Do extra cleaning on high-traffic areas like break rooms, elevators, etc.
Require employees to disinfect personal work areas
Require employees to avoid handshakes
Adjust or modify hours to allow people to better space out
Consider installing systems to bring more outside air in
BUT FIRST, counties must provide proof to the state that they meet certain criteria:
No more than one new COVID-19 case per 10,000 residents in the past 14 days
No COVID-19 deaths in the past 14 days
Essential workers must have access to PPE
A minimum of 1.5 tests per 100,000 residents being conducted daily
At least 15 contact tracers per 100,000 residents
Ability to temporarily house 15% of the county's homeless population
Hospitals are equipped to handle a 35% surge at minimum
Nursing facilities have a two-week supply of PPE
Continue to monitor metrics to potentially re-enact restrictions
