May 2021 Page 11 Community Center Facilities COVID-19 Level Blue Precautions and Regulations To protect the health and safety of our community and staff, we have implemented new, temporary guidelines and precautions for facilities use and room reservations, effective as of April 26, 2021, while Denver is classified at COVID-19 level Blue. DISCLOSURES Residents assume personal risk by using community facilities and participating in activities. Please proceed with caution and understand the increased risk of COVID-19 exposure when spending time with people outside of your household. Residents, staff and guests are required to abide by all precautions and regulations established by the association for the community center facilities. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the extended hours of operation and to adjust routines to help spread out and minimize high traffic hours. A new 2021 general use waiver is required for all residents and guests of the community center facilities. The new waiver is available on the Windsor Gardens website, in the lobbies of the fitness center, CenterPoint, and the auditorium, and in the administrative office. Completed waivers should be returned to the activities office. PRECAUTIONS FOR FACILITIES USE Everyone who visits the community center must always wear a mask while inside of the association’s facilities. Masks are not required outdoors but are still encouraged. Take extra precaution around groups of people outdoors when you are unsure of others’ vaccination status. Please be aware that the association’s staff has been instructed to advise all participants that masks must be worn indoors and to monitor for compliance. If you are approached by a staff member and asked to put on your mask or to wear it properly, we ask for your support and compliance. Voluntary compliance is critical for ensuring that the facilities remain open, and amenities can continue to be offered. Participants must maintain a safe distance (at least 6 feet) from others who are not part of their household. Do not congregate before, during or after a class, event or gathering. No handshakes, hugs, high-fives or physical contact with others at any time. Restrooms are available and will be cleaned regularly by the janitorial staff. We advise you to bring your own hand sanitizer, as it might not be available in the space you are using. The water fountains will not be available. Please plan to bring your own water. Stay home if you are feeling sick, were exposed to COVID-19 or are awaiting test results. It is imperative that you do not meet with others until you are healthy! COMMUNITY CENTER ROOMS & RESERVATIONS Unless otherwise stated in this COVID-19 Level Blue document, all procedures for reservations and facilities use will be according to the Community Center Facilities Rental and Use Policy. WG buildings are encouraged to consider the risks before deciding to gather for meetings or social get-togethers. Alternatives to in-person meetings held indoors should be considered before proceeding with group reservations. Reservations are currently limited to resident and resident-related events. Outside group reservations that can follow COVID-19 precautions will be permitted at the discretion of the Activities Department. Please note that some resident groups or events are not conducive under the current guidelines and precautions, such as card and game groups. The Activities Department will determine what groups are eligible for reservations and may deny requests at their discretion. Room reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance through the activities office. Due to limited available space, room use will be limited to two hours per reservation, unless otherwise approved by the activities director. Reservation frequency may be limited by room availability and cleaning schedules. Scheduled WG events and classes will take precedence over club reservations. If a group or building decide to proceed with a meeting or gathering, the following rooms are available for resident or group reservations with listed recommendations for limited capacity usage: All Purpose Room 12 Auditorium 55 Audience; 36 with Tables CenterPoint East 30 Audience; 18 with Tables CenterPoint E & W 50 Audience; 30 with Tables CenterPoint West 30 Audience; 18 with Tables Glass/Ceramics Room 8 Art Room 10 Card Room 12 Gazebos 48 per gazebo Sewing Room 10 (Staff will assist in determining capacities based on the nature of room usage.) FOOD REGULATIONS Food will only be permitted at special events or memorials in the auditorium, CenterPoint, or any event in the gazebos. If food is enjoyed, it should not be shared. Food should be individually packaged, boxed, or individually plated. Self-service stations and buffets are not permitted. Masks are not required while eating, but when indoors, should be replaced promptly and worn over the nose and mouth when food is no longer being consumed. The association is not responsible for ensuring safe food distribution, cleaning and disinfecting during private events. COMMUNITY CENTER LEVEL BLUE continued on page 13
