Such measures include, among other important controls, site entry restrictions and temperature checks, thorough and regular cleaning and disinfecting of all areas of the property, extensive on-site COVID testing, on-site medical staff, including a licensed epidemiologist, staggered staffing schedules, enhanced hygiene controls, and mandated social distancing.
