Apr 29, 2020
On April 27 Gov. Mike DeWine announced his Responsible RestartOhio plan to begin re-opening state for business. Effective Monday May 4 general office environments may reopen if businesses can meet mandatory safety requirements for customers and employees. Under the Governor’s order, here are a few of the practices that must be put in place by brokerages and Local Boards of REALTORS:
- Ensure minimum of 6 feet between people; if this is not possible, barriers must be installed
- Personnel should work from home whenever possible and feasible with business operations
- Employees must perform daily symptom assessment that includes taking their temperature
- Frequent disinfection of desks, workstations, and high-contact surfaces
- Daily disinfection of common areas
- Stagger arrival of all employees and guests
- Post signage on health safety guidelines in common areas
- Establish maximum capacity (e.g. 50% of fire code)
