• Plexiglass barriers at reception desk and waiting areas seating being spread out to accommodate for physical distancing
• Staff members practicing physical distancing and being equipped with person protective equipment (PPE) including masks, gloves, etc.
• Adjusting service hours to decrease number of people in center at once
