Covid-19 Operations
Personal Protective Equipment and Hygiene
> All staff and visitors are required to wear face coverings that cover both mouth and nose upon arrival to the Museum and throughout their visit.
> Disposable masks are available for free to anyone who needs one.
> Hand sanitizer is available for guests at multiple points around the Museum.
Capacity Limits
> Purchasing tickets for your party before your visit is highly encouraged, as the handling of credit cards or especially cash runs a high risk of potential contact between visitors and staff.
> The Museum will never exceed more than 20 visitors in the museum at any one time. Museum staff will ask that you maintain social distancing in gallery spaces to ensure everyone’s safety.
> Capacity for the Case Research Laboratory is 10 visitors, and if museum participation exceeds 10 visitors we will divide the visiting group in half.
> Elevator use is limited to 1 individual at a time by request (unless previous necessity for a partner is communicated beforehand).
Employee and Visitor Health
> All employees complete a health screening prior to starting their shift.
> Employees who are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19 or believe they have been in contact with someone who may have been exposed are required to work for home for ten days.
> Potential visitors who are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or believe to have been in contact with someone who may have been exposed should not plan a visit to the Museum.
Physical Distancing
> Everyone is advised and encouraged by staff and signage to practice physical distancing by standing at least 6 feet away from individuals not in their party while moving around the Museum.
> A clear acrylic shield is installed at our front desk where social distancing may be difficult.
> Public programs will be held outdoors or virtually until further notice.
Safety Protocols
> The Cayuga Museum and Case Research Laboratory are not climate controlled (though both do have active heating for spring and winter months). In summer months, fans will be placed in galleries to ensure consistent air flow, but the galleries will be hot. For the safety of visitors and staff, if outdoor temperatures are expected to exceed 90° Fahrenheit the Museum will close to the public for that day.
> Door handles and all high-touch surfaces are sanitized regularly, and the entire Museum is deep cleaned prior to opening each day. Interactive and hands-on exhibits are not available at this time, although disposable and take home activities will be made available throughout the year.
