GRF board is working on procedures to safely reopen LW amenities

STEP BY STEP

The COVID-19 Ad Hoc Committee is hard at work drafting Emergency Operating Procedures to continue safely reopening LeisureWorld amenities. At its Oct. 2 meeting, the committee approved the 120-day policies for the Phase 1 reopening of the Fitness Center and Swimming Pool and moved to send them to the GRF Board for approval at the Oct. 27 meeting. Once approved, the board can determine a target date for reopening the Fitness Center, contingent upon hiring and training staff.

Also approved and sent to the board was the Phase 1 reopening of the Amphitheater, exclusively for religious services. In addition, a policy governing mandatory face masks and a general COVID-19 Emergency Operational Rule was passed for approval and ratification.

The committee is also considering procedures for reopening craft rooms and sewing room, and expanding Veterans Plaza reservations under Phase 2 to include vocal club gatherings. Upcoming sessions will look at protocols for the woodshops, pool rooms and the LW Library. Once the board has approved the policies and start dates have been determined, the rules will be published in the LW Weekly. For more information, contact kathyt@lwsb.com.
