  • If having snacks, have them individually packaged or accessible by using utensils. Participants should either wash their hands before using the serving utensil or wear gloves.
  • As you welcome your participants, let them know what sanitary measures are available to them, and encourage them to wash their hands after coughing or sneezing.
  • After the program, clean surfaces where food was served, where individuals gathered, and high touch points such as doorknobs. 
  • Restock bathroom and kitchen sink with soap and paper towels.
