Cary Park District Monitoring Coronavirus Updates

From the Cary Park District:

The Cary Park District has been carefully monitoring the developments regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19). While the immediate risk to the American public is low at this time, our priority is the safety of our patrons and staff.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and prevention offers a number of recommendations for individuals to stay healthy and prevent the spread of coronavirus, influenza, and other illness. We ask that those who frequent our facilities practice the following CDC recommendations.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your mouth and noise with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
• Wash your hands regularly with soap and water (for at least 20 seconds).
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Clean surfaces regularly.

The Cary Park District’s standard sanitizing practices include the daily disinfection of all surfaces in our facilities. This includes program rooms, restrooms, drinking fountains, all equipment in our Fitness Center, and locker rooms and showers.
