HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

Because the safety of our community remains our top priority, we have made modifications to our policies and programs to facilitate new safety and social distancing guidelines. To maintain a healthy and safe environment, all Kid Zone participants and staff will be required to adhere to strict health and safety guidelines, including: • Daily health screenings and temperature checks • Mask requirements • Frequent handwashing

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES

The YMCA remains dedicated to working with our partner school districts to provide much-needed child care for families during the 2021-2022 school year. Assuming students will be returning to full-time in-person instruction in the fall, the YMCA is planning to offer its traditional before and after school Kid Zone program beginning in August 2021.

PLEASE NOTE: Instruction plans for the 2021-2022 school year will be determined by each individual school district. This information will be shared with students and their families by their school district. As it has throughout this school year, the Y’s Kid Zone program will continue to evolve to coordinate with each school district’s plan for instruction.

LET’S STAY HEALTHY

TOGETHER Because the health and safety of our YMCA community remains our top priority, we are doing everything possible to ensure our facilities meet the highest standards for hygiene and safety. We have also made modifications to our policies and programs to facilitate new safety and social distancing guidelines.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT To maintain a healthy environment, all members and staff will be required to adhere to the following health and safety guidelines when visiting our YMCA facilities.

If you have any concerns or questions during your visit, please speak to a member of our staff team.

Required Health Screening Upon entering the YMCA, both members and staff will be required to answer 5 health screening questions: 1. Have you or anyone in your household traveled to another country in the last 14 days?

2. Have you been in contact with someone under investigation for, or with a confirmed case of, COVID-19 in the last 14 days?

3. Have you or a family member in your household been instructed to self-quarantine?

4. In the last 3 days, have you experienced a fever of 100.4 or higher?

5. Are you currently experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19?

For the safety and well-being of our YMCA community, anyone who answers YES to any of the above questions will not be permitted to visit the YMCA on that day.

Masks Are Required Both members and staff will be required to practice social distancing and wear a mask or face covering when visiting the Y. Members should plan to have a mask or face covering with them at all times, and will be expected to wear it at the Y when not using the pool or exercising in designated socially distanced spaces in the wellness center or in a group exercise class.

Frequent Handwashing and Sanitizing Members and staff will be asked to help prevent the spread of germs by washing their hands upon entering any YMCA facility. For your convenience, we have installed additional hand sanitizers throughout our YMCA.

Required Equipment Wipedown When using the wellness center, please remember to wipe down equipment before and after use with the EPA-approved disinfectant we have provided.

Staggered Equipment To allow for social distancing, some equipment in our wellness center may be temporarily closed or relocated.

Limiting Class Sizes and Room Capacities To ensure members can safely practice social distancing while visiting the YMCA, we will temporarily be limiting the number of people allowed in YMCA classes, programs, and spaces. In the wellness center, members will notice that red boxes have been installed on the floor around certain pieces of equipment.

To ensure social distancing, only one person is permitted in each red box at a time.

We ask for your continued cooperation as we work together to keep our members and staff safe and healthy. We want to keep our doors open for as many members as possible. Doing so means taking safety seriously. If you have any concerns or questions at any time during your visit, please speak to a member of our staff team. To read more about our Health and Safety guidelines, visit www.jolietymca.org.

THANK YOU for being an important member of our YMCA family.

ATTENTION SWIM LESSON FAMILIES Because the health and safety of our YMCA community is our highest priority, the Y will be implementing new guidelines to ensure swimmers, their families, and our instructors can maintain social distancing during swim lessons.

• A parent or guardian will be required to be in the water assisting their child during Preschool Stages 1-3 and Youth Stages 1-2 swim lessons until further notice.

• As they have in the past, a parent or guardian will also be required to be in the water with their child during Stages A and B swim lessons.

• Lane lines in our lap pools have been adjusted to ensure social distancing and all participants in all swim levels will be spaced 6 feet apart during swim lessons.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to keep our community healthy and safe.
