COVID-19 Confirmed Case for Library Patron Policy

  

Communication

Library will assess schedule and time cards to determine which employees may have been exposed to the virus and need to take additional precautions:

  • If a patron is confirmed to have COVID-19, and presents possible exposure, the Director will inform employees while maintaining confidentiality as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
  • The Library will contact the Tompkins County Health Department and follow their recommendations.

 

Cleaning and Disinfecting

  • TCPL will follow Tompkins County guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. Wear additional personal protective equipment (PPE) depending on the setting and disinfectant product you are using.
