All volunteers must be fully vaccinated prior to volunteering. Please ensure to bring your vaccination card to the work site. See the ALIVE! COVID-19 Vaccination Policy
All volunteers working indoors must wear a KN95 Mask- masks will be provided to all volunteers.
Anyone handling food should wear gloves.
Limit people inside to the minimum needed to carry out the work.
Keep doors and windows open to increase airflow when possible.
All volunteers must complete a health screening each day upon arrival and leave immediately if their temperature is above 100 and/or they feel unwell.
Each volunteer is responsible for screening and recording their own temperature and answers on the health screening log at each location (office, warehouse, bus barn, and volunteer sites).
Encourage people to stay home if they have experienced any symptoms of COVID and get tested as soon as possible before returning.
Encourage all people to be vaccinated to the extent possible and realize vaccination does not protect completely against the spread of the omicron variant.
Tips from CDC regarding workplace safety:
Stay far enough away from other people so that you are not breathing in particles produced by them – generally at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths), although this approach by itself is not a guarantee that you will avoid infection, especially in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Perform work tasks, hold meetings, and take breaks outdoors when possible.
Practice good personal hygiene and wash your hands often. Always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, or the inside of your elbow, when you cough or sneeze, and do not spit. Monitor your health daily and be alert for COVID-19 symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, or shortness of breath). See CDC’s Daily Activities and Going Out and CDC’s Interim Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People.
