Guidance for Farmers Markets Operators to Slow the Spread of COVID-19 Virus
From the Document: "With COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] spreading across the state and nation, Governor Pete Ricketts has issued guidelines to slow the spread of the virus. Under these guidelines, Nebraskans need to implement improved personal health practices to slow the spread of the virus. These practices include keeping at least six feet between each person, coughing and/or sneezing into our elbows, washing our hands often with soap for at least 20 seconds, and refraining from touching our face, nose, and eyes. In addition, public gatherings should be limited to no more than 10 people. [...] For purposes of clarity, farmers markets are not considered public gatherings under the statewide DHM [Directed Health Measures], because of the nature of the business being conducted, as well as the ability of the markets to create appropriate social distancing. It is important for farmers markets to institute changes to slow the spread of COVID-19 amongst their vendors and market patrons. All farmers market operators should first consult with their local health department to ensure that the market is able to meet all local health department guidelines."
