Protocols Implemented to Contain Spread of COVID-19 at Bethany Retreat House
Please review; by clicking the "Submit" button at the bottom of this list, you are formally accepting these protocols.
1. All guests and employees will have their temperature taken daily by non-touch infrared thermometer, beginning at check in. A temperature of 100.4 or above is considered a fever by the CDC and may be the first presentment of illness. The guest will likely need to make arrangements to go home. All fees would be returned.
2. All guests and employees will wear protective face coverings that cover their mouths and noses at all times in public areas. In your room and outside you do not need to wear a face covering. In the Chapel, face coverings must be worn by all and be lifted for receiving Holy Communion. Likewise for dining, guests must wear their face coverings in the buffet line but will remove them for eating.
3. Social distancing has proven effective in slowing the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, we will provide floor markings and room arrangements that allow the appropriate 6-foot spacing, including in the dining room, chapel, rooms, and baths. If you are walking outside with another, your mask is not necessary, but the 6-foot social distancing is still in order.
