American Legion Post 28 Grand Haven, MI Poliey and Standard OperatingProcedures (sops) for Covid-19

The safety and well-being of charles A. Conklin American Legion Post 28 Grand Haven, MImembers, employees, and the public are priority one. To mitigate COVID-19 outbreakconditions for Post 28 premises, the Post has prepared this COVID-19 Preparedness andResponse Plan to enhance the safety and well-being of members, employees, and the public.While this document serves as a plan with Standard Operating Procedures for our staff, we askthat members and the public cooperate in following the law regarding necessary steps tomitigate exposure risks, sources of exposure, routes of transmission, and other uniquecharacteristics of SARS-CoV-2.

Within this document, we identify risk levels and establish appropriate control measures.

To reduce the impact of covID-19 outbreak conditions on Post 28 premises, it is importantfor all individuals to plan now in terms of identifying

• specific exposure risks,• sources of exposure,• routes of transmission, and• other unique characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., compared to pandemic influenza

viruses

By planning and practicing enhanced hygiene and sanitation, Post 28 members, employees, andthe general public will help mitigate potentially worsening outbreak conditions.

How COVID-19 Spreads

Although the first human cases of COVID-191ikely resulted from exposure to infectedanimals, infected people can spread SARS-CoV-2 to other people.

The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person, including:

• Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet)

• Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly beinhaled into the lungs

• It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object thathas SARS-CoV-2 on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes,

Copyright 2020 Charles A. Conklin American Legion Post 28 Grand Haven, hAIAll CDC materials copyright Centers for Disease Control

but this is not thought to be the primary way the virus spreads

• People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (i.e.,experiencing fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath). Some spread might be possiblebefore people show symptoms; there have been reports of this type of asymptomatictransmission with this new coronavirusg but this is also not thought to be the main waythe virus spreads

Although the United States has implemented public health measures to limit the spread ofthe virus, it is likely that some person-to-person transmission will continue to occur.

The CDC website provides the latest information about COVID-19 transmission:www.cdc. ov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html.

Symptoms of COVID-19

Infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can cause illness ranging frommild to severe and, in some cases, can be fatal.

Symptoms typically include :• Fever,• cough, and• shormess of breath

Some people infected with the virus have reported experiencing other non-respiratorysymptoms.

Other people, referred to as asymptomatic cases, have experienced no symptoms at all.

According to the CDC, symptoms of covID-19 may appear in as few as 2 days or 14 daysafter exposure.

Post 28 Preparedness and Response Plan

The purpose of the Post 28 Preparedness and Response Plan. is to address the level(s) of riskassociated with Post 28 premises and interactions, including:

• Where, how, and to what sources of SARS-CoV-2 might employees be exposed,including,

Copyright 2020 Charles A. Conklin American Legion Post 28 Grand Haven, MIAll CDC materials copyright Centers for Disease Control

® The membership and general public

• Sick individuals or those at particularly high risk of infection (e.g., internationaltravelers who have visited locations with widespread sustained (ongoing) COVID-19transmission),

• Members, employees', and general public individual risk factors (e.g., older age;presence of chronic medical conditions, including immunocompromising conditions;pregnancy),

• Prompt identification and isolation of potentially infectious individuals to protectmembers, employees, and the general public on Post 28 premises

Protections for Post 28 members, employees, and the general public depend heavily oninfection prevention measures. A]], should implement good hygiene and infection controlpractices, including:

• Frequent and thorough hand washing with soap and rurming water or alcohol-based handrubs containing at least 60% alcohol

® Stay home, if sick

• Practice respiratory etiquette, including covering coughs and sneezes

• Maintain social distancing practices
