PH Y S I C A L D I S TA NC I NG You are required to practice physical distancing — and maintain a 6-foot separation between you and others while standing or sitting. It is inevitable that, while walking, people will pass each other. This is why face coverings are so important. People without symptoms may be able to spread the virus. Keeping distance from others is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very ill. • Stay at least 6 feet (about two arms’ length) from other people. • Do not gather in groups. • Stay out of crowded places and avoid large gatherings.
CL E A NL I NE S S Handwashing
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Work Area
Employees are responsible for maintaining a safe work area. This includes the use of shared printers, refrigerators, coffee machines, etc. Clean these shared areas and items before and after you use them. Work with your colleagues and supervisor to assess and plan for physical distancing in your work area. There may be times you choose not to wear a face covering because you are alone in a private office with the door closed. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or the inside of your elbow if you cough or sneeze. Dispose of the tissue properly and clean any surfaces that may have been affected. Properly wash your hands or use hand sanitizer afterward.

In order to create physical distancing on the trams, capacity will be reduced by 50 percent, which means wait times may increase. Be sure to maintain physical distancing while waiting in line.
