In case you haven’t seen them yet, here are the ten foundational requirements for all businesses to reopen in Kentucky. Other industry/segment-specific guidelines will be released over the coming days as each part of the economy is allowed to reopen.

The 10 Rules for Reopening

  • Use telework for employees wherever possible.
  • A phased-in return to work, including plans to spread people out.
  • On-site temperature and health checks when people arrive.
  • Universal masking of employees, especially if they are face-to-face with customers. Also, any other necessary PPE for employees.
  • Closing common areas, such as break rooms and lunchrooms.
  • Enforce social distancing.
  • Limit face-to-face meetings among employees.  Use telephone or virtual means instead.
  • Have sanitizer and hand-washing stations throughout the facility.
  • Make special accommodations for employees who are part of a vulnerable population.
  • A testing plan if an employee or other person comes in with a fever.
