(a) Prior to entering a tenant's unit to perform maintenance, repairs or to conduct other business (e.g, inspections), residents will be asked questions regarding their current health condition. When asked, residents are required to disclose whether they are exhibiting flu like symptoms, whether they have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVTD-19 or whether they are under a mandatory travel or health quarantine.
(b) All individuals must wear face coverings in their housing units when authority's employees are conducting repairs or official business in their units. Residents are required to maintain a minimum of six feet physical distance from the authority's employee and their work area. If residents are unable to maintain a minimum of six feet physical distance while the authority's employee is performing repairs or other business (e.g., inspections) in the unit, the residents shall be required to wait outside the unit until all work is completed.
(c) Residents who do not have face coverings may request them from the authority.
(d) Residents who fail to comply with requests to wear face coverings masks and maintain a minimum of six feet physical distance from the authority's employees shall be subject to applicable penalties. After repeated attempts to request that residents comply with requirements to wear face coverings and maintain a minimum of six feet physical distance, any maintenance repairs, or other business will be terminated immediately until the tenants comply with the authority's employee's requests.
(e) Upon completing work in a tenant's unit, the authority will sanitize the area before leaving.
