With new information coming out about Delta and Omnicron Covid variants, it is difficult to keep up with pandemic modifications when it comes to public safety. For this reason, lots of people have postponed events such as weddings, baby showers, and outdoor academic experiences. Here is how Flush will help you overcome pandemic issues by scheduling outdoor events that include our bathroom trailer rentals.
What are the CDC Guidelines for Event Planning During the COVID-19 Pandemic?
The CDC does not specify event attendance numbers, but it does promote safety by asking event planners to follow local city and state health department regulations. For this reason, event planners need to think about local covid cases, transmission challenges, and vaccination coverage rates before deciding on exact event plans. This data can also help event planners choose options like having indoor or outdoor events.
Holiday Events and Covid
With just about 71% of Massachusetts residents vaccinated (85% has one shot) and 64% of New Hampshire residents vaccinated (87% has one shot), it is safe to say that event-goers are going to be much more likely to give and attend events this year rather than postponing them as was the case in 2020. Massachusetts and New Hampshire residents are also less likely to transmit covid when precautions are followed.
Here are a Few Health-Related Precautions the CDC Advises for Events:
- CDC recommends prioritizing outdoor events, modifying indoor event layouts, and minimalizing guest lists. Social distance tables and chairs by six feet to encourage safety measures.
- Create a safety checklist for event workers to follow so that everyone is on the same page regarding health and safety maintenance.
- Clean and disinfect high-touch surface areas regularly. The CDC advises cleaning every 24 hours, but we recommend disinfecting before guests arrive and routinely in high-traffic areas.
- Limit hand transmission – ask us about hygiene-friendly options like our hands-free bathroom trailer rentals and portable hand wash sink rentals.
- Social distancing of six feet is still advised while waiting in line. Post signs at bathroom trailer rentals asking guests to follow social distance guidelines.
- Use a bathroom attendant to limit the number of people entering bathroom trailer rentals. For events with a larger number of attendees, consider ordering more units than normal.
- Ask your bathroom attendant to modify maintenance schedules to clean, disinfect, and tidy up between event guests’ uses.
- Make sure the bathroom attendant cleans all surface areas such as the toilet, faucet, door handles, countertops, and dispensers.
- Use hand-free soap and disinfectant dispensers. This will remind guests to be mindful at handwashing stations regarding covid precautions.
- CDC recommends proper ventilation. Frost’s bathroom trailer rentals have heat and air ventilation systems and natural ventilation occurs as guests open and close the trailer doors.
- Create an entrance and exit layout to direct the flow of event traffic and rotate communal spaces such as dining rooms, bathrooms, or entertainment rooms.
- If your event lacks a workplace sanitation area, ask Flush about our portable hand wash sink rentals so the event workers can wash hands between guest encounters.
