Reconsider furniture types, materials, and layouts to prioritize easy cleaning and social distancing.

• Consider furniture that can be rearranged to accommodate various spacing and density arrangements.
• Design the reception desk/area to create space between the receptionist and the public.
• Review the need for transparent screening to provide protection for the receptionist.
• Consider prioritizing the use of materials that are easily cleaned, or consider using polyurethane fabric slip covers on task chair backs for ease of cleaning.
• For informal seating, such as in a lobby or break Room, consider movable individual chairs in lieu of larger pieces to encourage social distancing.
• Minimize nonessential items, such as decorations and area rugs, to simplify cleaning.
• Consider operational situations where dividers/screens are beneficial and effective, and implement regular cleaning protocols for dividers/screens.
