Dining Room – Safety & Sanitation
Standards
Case
Study: Dining Room Re-opening after COVID-19 Pandemic
After 6 weeks of emergency measures, Dr.
Heather Morrison, Director of Public Health PEI, has released a statement that
PEI has not reported any new COVID-19 cases in the last two weeks. Dr. Morrison
has indicated that Island businesses can begin to prepare for a ‘soft’ (slowly building) opening over the
coming weeks, with an opening date of Monday, June 1st.
Erring on the side of caution, travel restrictions
will remain in place for non-essential travel until June 30th,
2020. All non-essential businesses are
asked to open at 50% capacity. In addition, all non-essential businesses are
asked to review all safety and sanitation practices and implement any
additional practices to reduce the possibility of COVID-19 re-surfacing (See
Appendix A). Public Health will post new updates weekly.
It is also suggested that people maintain a
two (2) foot distance and limit physical interactions.
