Facilities COVID Service Changes & Best Practices

---

Florida State University is taking aggressive steps to prevent the spread of disease, such as COVID-19, by minimizing individual interactions while also enhancing its existing cleaning and disinfection practices. This cannot be achieved without the help and understanding of the entire campus community.

To meet campus needs for increased sanitation of common spaces, custodial staff will no longer routinely enter personal office spaces to clean or collect trash from desk-side bins.

Personal best practices to follow while on campus

• Wear a mask
• Maintain social distancing (at least 6 feet apart) wherever possible
• Wash hands and/or use hand sanitizer frequently
• If you have access to sanitized wipes, try to use them to clean door handles, light switches, keyboard, and other items in and around your workspace
• Properly dispose of wipes, gloves, and masks in the trash can
