TMN Covid-19 guidelines updated 1-21-2021
Guidelines for all TMN Activities:
It is very important to know and follow all federal, state, county and local COVID guidelines/restrictions before conducting TMN Activities. Beyond these the TMN program will have the following guidelines:
- Virtual meeting platform tools should be used whenever possible.
- For any indoor activity that does occur in-person, both volunteers and public participants must wear masks. The occupancy limit shall not exceed one person per 100 square feet of indoor public space to allow for 10 feet of social distance.
- For outdoor activities, both volunteers and public participants must wear masks and social distance by at least 6 feet.
- All multi-county TMN Chapters must consider each of their county’s health ordinances when scheduling in person (‘face-to-face’) events or meetings, the ability/inability for chapter membership to attend, and the equity of scheduling events in certain counties to the exclusion/inclusion of certain segments of the chapter.
