• Nobody who has any symptoms - cough, fever, flu or cold symptoms, etc. - should come to the mikvah. Everyone requesting an appointment will be asked to respond to a checklist to ensure that they and everyone in their household are in good health before using the mikvah. No one who is quarantined may use the mikvah.

• Bromine kills the virus, and we will raise the levels of bromine in the mikvah in order to ensure this process is efficient. We need to increase the frequency of testing to make sure that the levels remain high. We will also stagger appointments so that immersions take place 15 minutes apart from one another, to allow the bromine to work. 

• Social distancing is important, and spacing out the appointments will also mean fewer interactions between people. We will also move to online payments, so that there is less contact between attendants and those using the mikvah, and ask attendants to maintain a six foot distance from those immersing as much as possible. 

• The virus can live on surfaces for some amount of time (estimates vary), so keeping the pool and all surfaces clean is important. We will empty and refill the mikvah more frequently, and ask all attendants to wipe down surfaces between users. In addition, to minimize contact with surfaces, we will ask all those using the mikvah to do their preparations at home as much as possible.

• Those immersing in the mikvah should shower and change their clothing upon returning home.

• Mikvah attendants will be asked to take additional precautions, such as wearing gloves, changing their clothing when returning home, and washing their hands with bar soap for twenty seconds in between dunkers. No attendants who are ill or immunocompromised will be on duty.

• The Keilim mikvah is closed until further notice.
