No product will be labeled for COVID-19 yet, but many products will have a label or information available on their websites about their effectiveness for human coronavirus. • Thoroughly clean restroom facilities at least twice daily and, to the extent possible, ensure adequate sanitary supplies (soap, toilet paper, hand sanitizer) throughout the day. Restroom facilities that cannot be cleaned twice daily should be kept closed or a sign should be posted stating that the restroom is unable to be cleaned twice daily. • Employees must clean and disinfect ALL games, balls, shared equipment and any other commonly touched gaming devices or tools between use.

To the extent possible, operators of indoor and outdoor recreational facility should, but are not required to: Additional Physical Distancing Measures • Encourage reservations or advise people to call in advance to confirm facility capacity.

Do not block access to fire exits. • Position staff to monitor physical distancing requirements, so that parties are no larger than 10 people, and to help visitors understand these requirements. • Assign staff to monitor visitor access to common areas such as restrooms so that visitors do not congregate. • Route foot traffic in a one-way direction to minimize close contact between visitors.
