Also, on top of bay limits, are any facilities planning on implementing capacity limits? It could be feasible to leave a set of laminated cards/tokens near the gowning room. A user would ideally take a card upon entry, and replace it when they leave. Our gowning
room has transparent walls, so a user could see if there were any cards available before entering. Also, any user seen without a card could be asked to leave the cleanroom. Speaking of, are any amendments being made to discipline policies? How do you plan
on reacting to users who fail to maintain social distance?</div>

<div>A few obvious things similar t what has been said. Physical distance where possible such as gowning area enforced. Great care around shared spaces such as SEM for disinfection. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello Ron, and all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are also in planning mode at Michigan and waiting for the go ahead and likely recommendations/restrictions from our state and university officials (as of now, our current stay at home order is effective until 4/30). We're looking at different sequential
stages:</div>
<div>1- replenishing our stock of supplies (most were donated to the hospital, so we need to make sure we have enough before we move to the next phase)</div>
<div>2- staff only, bringing facilities and tools back online</div>
<div>3- authorized/independent users only (no training)</div>
<div>4- all users</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During all of these phases, we are planning for updated protocols that will be different from our "old" (pre-COVID - which feels such a long time ago....) operation model.</div>
<div>- additional cleaning, both outside of the lab (where no PPE is worn) and inside of the lab</div>
<div>- updated gowning protocols (face masks required even in our "class 10,000" space, double gloving mandatory, garment bags and safety glasses not shared among lab users, or heavily cleaned between usage)</div>
<div>- increased air exchanges and prefilters added before our HEPA filters in gowning area .</div>
<div>- social distancing protocols (hence the "no training" in phase 3) </div>
<div> * limiting the number of people in the gowning area at the same time</div>
<div> * showing our users the schedule for tools that are in close proximity and having guidelines about maximum number of people for each physical area - for now, we are looking at relying on users following protocols (rather than hard restrictions from
our lab management or access control system).<br>
</div>
<div> * enhancing our training methods so that they rely less on close proximity (we already have wiki pages and SOPs for all tools, and online quizzes for a few, but we're looking at developing this further, and including video training if possible - we
don't yet have any of these).</div>
<div> * limiting onsite staff presence (at least initially) with rotation between two teams, possibly increasing air exchanges in office areas too.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's definitely still a work in progress - looking forward to hearing about other ideas from the rest of you!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
<div>Sandrine</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Here at Purdue for the last 3 weeks we have severely curtailed our research efforts at the Birck Nanotechnology Center due to the pandemic, to the point that only a fraction of our facility is being used for projects deemed critical (related
to COVID-19 or national interest). We are preparing to ramp back up once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and this ramp-up presents some unique challenges. We’re anticipating potential delays in orders from suppliers as they ramp up and we expect that
social distancing will still be the norm so process & equipment training will need to be handled differently. We’re just now starting to plan for returning to a full research operation and we’re wondering if you all are developing similar plans? It would
be great if we could share some thoughts and ideas in our community.<u></u><u></u></p>
