Durham Environmental Health has gathered information from NC-DHHS and CDC to create guidance materials for regulated establishments. It is critical that you use these materials to screen your employees. Wearing facemasks and social distancing when you reopen is mandatory. Guidance for no-sew facemasks, cleaning & disinfecting, and screening employees is below. Some materials have been translated to Spanish. For further guidance please reach out to Durham Environmental Health.

The City of Durham Department of Water Management has collaborated with neighboring utilities – Raleigh, Cary, Hillsborough, and the Orange Water & Sewer Authority – to develop recommendations to ensure that your buildings and facilities can safely resume operations as you prepare to reopen per Local Government orders.

The guidance is posted on the City of Durham website which includes links to resources from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Environmental Science, Policy & Research Institute (ESPRI), and the American Water Works Association.
