==Covid-19 Reopening Plan==
This plan is our effort to partially reopen Unalloated Space in a way that permits the greatest use of our facility, and strives to keep everyone safe, within the confines of the orders and directives issued by local and state government authorities.
This plan has been created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and is our good faith effort to:


==What the Space is doing:==
# Comply with all of the operating restrictions imposed by State and County Government;
# Operate in a manner consistent with the COVID-19 related health and safety recommendations issued by the County, State and Federal health authorities; and
# Permit the greatest use of our facility while striving to keep all that use our facility safe.


We are following the guidance and orders of all local and state officials. Accordingly, Unallocated Space will reopen subject to the social distancing and safety directives issued by local and state government authorities.
This plan has been amended multiple times to conform with the latest issued COVID-19 restrictions and recommendations. This plan was last modified on May 30, 2022.


1. We believe, in good faith, based on the latest guidance and directives issued by local and state government authorities, that it would be appropriate to open Unallocated Space to our community in a limited capacity as long as we can comply with the following restrictions:
==What the Space is doing:==
 
: a. Use of the Unallocated Space facilities is limited up to ten (10) people indoors and twenty-five (25) people outdoors;
 
: b. All participants in Unallocates Space activities maintain appropriate social distancing and wear a mask; and
 
: c. All participants cooperate and assist in the execution of appropriate safety and sanitation measures.   
 
2. As long as the above described restrictions are complied with, regularly occurring in person events and social gatherings can be resumed immediately.
 
3. We have created a process to enable anyone to remotely stream an event by contacting events@unallocatedspace.org or Jelly in Slack. Our regular events that can be run remotely can continue as instructors are available.
 
4. We will be requiring everyone who comes to the Space to sign in, measure their temperature, and sign out so we can monitor the number of people using the facility at any given time.
 
5. We will be requiring everyone who comes into the Space to sign a document acknowledging that there is a risk of being exposed to COVID-19 by coming to the Space and acknowledging we are doing everything we can to open the Space while keeping everyone safe.
 
6. We have cleaning supplies generously donated by our community members for use in the Space. We do not have a supply of masks but some form of mask/face covering is required (covering the nose and mouth fully with no holes) while inside our facility at all times.


7. If you have questions we have not answered, ask us by emailing board@unallocatedspace.org or tagging @board in Slack.
