We've consulted the medical community and health officials to create holistic checklist of necessary practices your store should follow
Employees are wearing masks or other personal protective equipment at all times. Additionally, the store recommends visitors wear masks before entering.
The store has lowered its occupancy limit and provided markers to help visitors create space in lines or waiting areas.
High contact areas like door handles and countertops are disinfected multiple times throughout the day.
Customers have the option to checkout without requiring physical contact.
Employees are screened daily on their health and wellness prior to entering the workplace.
Our certification process starts with a team member visiting a business in-person. We check the store environment against our health guidelines and require store owners to submit their health committments to our database. Lastly, we present the certification - all while maintaining proper social distancing protocols
COVID Safety Report started with a simple mission: help store owners get up and running by showcasing the proactive measures they've taken to keep visitors safe. As the economy began to reopen, we saw that our communities were struggling to return to business as usual because fear of infection dominated and information was scarce. Our solution has been to bring light to the incredible efforts your neighborhood stores have made to ensure your safety.
Our health certification is specific to a post-COVID world: standards rely on expert guidelines and certifications are completed in-person by our team. Additionally, we've made all of our reports free and publicly available on this site. Our hope is that with transparency and information, communities will be safer, more resilient, and more prosperous. Thank you for supporting our site and your local businesses.
