Oklahoma Open Up & Recover Safely Plan for Outdoor Recreational Facilities
As Oklahoma is moving forward during the COVID-19 pandemic, they are allowing the opening of outdoor recreational facilities. Across the state, nature parks, zoos, gardens, play areas, horse riding stables, mini golf locations, shooting ranges, and marina are allowed to re-open. The opening of sites began on April 24, 2020.
Strict Sanitation Protocols
Each opening location must adhere to a strict sanitation protocol and use social distancing guidelines. Employees will have temperature checks to check for temperatures before working each day.
Also, rental equipment must be cleaned and sanitized before and after each use. This will improve the health of visitors to each location. Handwashing facilities are also available to customers. Visitors will be informed of limited access areas on site.
Continue to Maintain Social Distancing Practices
Visitors to the outdoor recreation facilities should continue to maintain the proper social distancing practices. Keeping a space of six feet between persons still holds to be the standard.
Events that gather people in small places may still be postponed for a time within the state. Petting zoos are to remain closed at this time but will be allowed to open during later phases of the Oklahoma Open Up & Recover Safely Plan.
Restaurant Locations Opening
Restaurants across the state began re-opening on May 1. Many dining establishments are taking extra precautions to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. For some, this will include only allowing seating at every other dining table. Restaurants are also following strict sanitization and disinfecting guidelines as provided by the state of Oklahoma.
