SAFE & HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

In response to COVID-19, the Swiftel Center is taking every reasonable precaution to promote a safe and healthy environment. The Swiftel Center is thoughtfully and conscientiously following the recommended guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As a City of Brookings owned facility, the Swiftel Center is also thoroughly following the guidelines of the City of Brookings ordinances.

To prepare for re-opening, the staff has conducted thorough cleaning of all facility rooms and spaces, additional deep cleaning in all front-of-house and back-of-house areas, and detailed sanitizing of all equipment as well as touch-points. In addition to standard Swiftel Center cleaning practices, staff are frequently monitoring, cleaning and disinfecting all touch-points to provide a clean and comfortable environment. Touchless hand sanitizing stations are located throughout the facility.

Upon re-opening, guests will be required to follow the posted signage guidelines and are encouraged to follow the recommended social distancing guidelines. The Swiftel Center encourages all guests to be on alert for symptoms and monitor their individual health. Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19. Guests experiencing any of these symptoms are encouraged to stay home and seek recommended care.

Ensuring the health, welfare and safety of our guests as well as our clients and employees has always been and continues to be our highest priority. Our focus is to ensure we meet our guests, clients and employees’ needs while doing our part to keep our community safe. We know that the best experiences begin with providing a safe and comfortable environment. We look forward to welcoming you back!
