• Highly touched surfaces are sanitized daily

• All who enter the building are highly encouraged to wear a mask and wash their hands in a bathroom at the entrance of the building

• Residents or staff traveling from out of town are quarantined for 14 days or until receiving a negative COVID-19 test 7 days after their return prior to participating in communal living or returning to work 

• Each family or individual residing in shelter are given their own room

• Staff are maintaining a 6 feet distance when providing advocacy to resident and non-resident program participants

• SAFV is only allowing essential visitors into the building at this time, and only receiving essential donations such as food and paper products.
