Here is the latest info from Mineral County:
Mineral County Requirements for Lodging
During “Safer At Home”
Dear hotel and lodging operators,
As we work together to reopen our local economy as safely as possible the following are local county
requirements on protection, maintaining physical distance, and screening/contact tracing. Please review this
checklist and call Silver Thread Public Health with any questions about implementing these requirements.
In gratitude, Your Silver Thread Public Health Team
Screening & Contact Tracing:
╃ Keep a copy of the driver’s license, or other sufficient identification of the head of household for each
group checking in, for 60 days for the purposes of epidemiological tracking by the health department, if
needed. Logs will be made available to the Silver Thread Public Health District when necessary for case
investigation.
╃ If an individual has tested positive for COVID-19 and/or has developed symptoms of COVID-19,
including early or mild symptoms (such as cough and shortness of breath), they should be in isolation
(staying away from others) until they have had no fever for at least seventy-two (72) hours (that is three
full days of no fever without the use of medicine that reduces fevers), other symptoms have improved
(such as cough or shortness of breath) and at least ten (10) days have passed since symptoms first
appeared.
╃ Both guests and lodging owners need to be made aware of the possibility that a guest may need to be
isolated. If an individual who is a guest at a lodging facility is to be isolated due to testing positive for
COVID-19 or developing symptoms of COVID-19, the lodging owner and guest must be prepared to
extend the stay of the guest until isolation is no longer required for the guest.
╃ Employees cannot be at work if symptomatic or feeling ill. Employees will conduct symptom checks
with temperature at the beginning and end of shift. Logs will be kept and made available to the Silver
Thread Public Health District when necessary for case investigation.
╃ Conduct basic health screening of all members of each party upon checking in, including
self-assessment of symptoms identified as COVID-19 and conducting a visual check.
Protection & Sanitizing:
╃ Increase sanitation of common areas pursuant to recommendations of the health department Per CDC
Recommendations :

Mineral County Requirements for Lodging
During “Safer At Home”
╃ Face coverings are required to be worn by employees at all times during their shift, while interacting
with the public and providing cleaning services.
╃ Strongly r ecommend use of face coverings by guests at all times in indoor common areas per Executive
Order D 2020 044.
╃ Maintain a cleaning log with date and location available for inspection.
╃ Consider designating one staff member with proper training and protective equipment to attend to sick
guests.
╃ Decrease housekeeping services during guest stays to prevent transmission between rooms, encourage
guests to bring their own linens when and where appropriate.
╃ At such accommodations when linens are provided, cleaning a guest room entails providing a complete
change of towels, linens, bedding, and guest consumable items and completely disinfecting all hard
surfaces and high-touch areas with an EPA-registered chemical disinfectant.
╃ Launder all exposed linens and cleaning supplies (rags etc.) separately.
╃ Treat all linens in a used room as though they have been exposed, whether it appears that they have
been used or not, and wash in hot water.
╃ Provide guests with their own sanitation solutions or wipes.
╃ When possible, rooms should have a 24 hour rest period prior to cleaning and new check-in, 48 hours
would be ideal. As is possible consider spacing in occupancy by alternating rooms and closely spaced
cabins.
╃ For lodging with shared shower facilities, allow users at half capacity to help maintain distancing, or
allow family units. Sanitize high touch areas once every 8 hours and more frequently when needed.
╃ For shared toilet facilities, encourage normal hygienic protocols and sanitize high touch areas once
every 8 hours and more frequently when needed.
Distancing:
╃ Enforce 6-foot social distancing guidelines in all common areas. All public and private gatherings are
limited to no more than ten (10) individuals.
╃ Keep all convention rooms, meeting rooms and swimming pools/hot tubs closed.
╃ Post and maintain signage to remind groups to stand at least 6 feet apart and avoid congregating in
common areas.
╃ Food service shall follow guidance offered in this document.
╃ Fitness Centers shall remain closed.
╃ Encourage digital or remote check-in and checkout.
╃ Consider installing a plexiglass partition in areas coming into close contact with guests, i.e. registration.
