GREETER USHERS (must arrive 45 minutes before start of mass)
An attendance list will be taken as people enter the church facility: full name of each participant to be checked against the list or added in an unclaimed space. This will enable management of cases through contact tracing and follow-up, if necessary. Ushers must direct attendees to the available space in the pews in order to ensure proper physical distancing between households, manage seating and monitor occupancy. Ushers are to facilitate the entry and departure of the faithful as directed by the priest. Supervise and remind the appropriate physical distancing, they are responsible for access doors being propped open and closed.
CLEANERS (at the end of mass)
Implement the "wipe-twice" method to clean and disinfect. Wipe surfaces with a cleaning agent to clean off soil and wipe again with a disinfectant. Clean and disinfect pews in between Masses. Clean all doorknobs, light switches, toilet handles, faucets and taps, railings, counters etc.
