Here is What YOU Can Do to Prevent the Spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19)

​

Here are basic guidelines issued by the CDC, Ohio Health, and Lorain County Public Health Department as well as Governor DeWine that assist us with doing our part to prevent the spread of germs.  We appreciate everyone who has adhered to the guidance of the CDC, Health Departments, and our Governor.

​

• Wear face covering (covers your nose and mouth) when out in public for your health and the health of others

• Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly, and use hand sanitizer when available

• Practice physical distancing, when possible, between yourself, other riders and operator

• Cover coughs and sneezes with the inside of your elbow or tissue

• Keep hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth

• If you have a cold or flu symptoms, please stay at home to reduce the risk of spreading any illness
