Indiana: YMCA of Greater Louisville locations in Indiana require members (age 6+) to wear face masks in all areas, except during cardio workouts or while swimming.
Please also note that we are designating one hour each day from 2 pm-3 pm in which masks will be required even during physical activity in order to serve members who are apprehensive about working out where others are not wearing a masks.
WHAT IS THE Y DOING TO KEEP ME SAFE?
Personal Protective Equipment for All Staff: All staff will be required to wear masks. They will also receive a temperature check and health screenings prior to starting their shift each day.
Creating an Environment that Allows for Social Distancing: All areas inside the Y have been evaluated and redesigned where necessary to help create physical distance between members. Signage is displayed prominently throughout the facilities to drive awareness of this requirement.
Enhancing Facility Cleanliness: In addition to sanitizing equipment by staff throughout the day and the request of our members to wipe down equipment after use, the facilities and equipment are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected each day by using products and processes in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the Environment Protection Agency. Also, additional safety stations with wipes, paper towels, hand sanitizers and other cleaning supplies are available.
HOW I CAN HELP KEEP MYSELF AND MY COMMUNITY SAFE
