Covid-19 Precautions

Social Distancing

• Ample signage will encourage social distancing while in the market space and socializing will be discouraged.

• Community engagement activities are postponed until further notice.

• Tents will be spaced further apart to avoid lines and allow customers to move about the market with more room and less contact.

CFM vendors are being asked to: 

• Have two staff members present: one for handling money and tokens and one for handling food and bagging items;

• Limit one customer in the tent space at a time.

• Have hand sanitizer available for themselves and for their customers;

• Wear gloves with handling money, tokens, or produce;

• Remove or changed gloves before touching other surfaces;

• Frequently clean their surfaces and POS systems with bleach or alcohol wipes;

• Bring small trash receptacles for disposing of gloves, wipes, etc.;

• Remove the signature requirement for credit card sales where possible;

• Consider adding virtual payment options such as Venmo, Cash App, Paypal;

• Encourage card use over cash (as of now, we are not completely restricting cash use, as it may limit some populations from being able to shop, but we will strongly discourage it).

• Pre-bag produce to limit exposure and touching;

• Limit displayed products and only use containers that can be sanitized (no baskets);

• Store inventory in boxes or coolers that can be sanitized.
