This topic is not only a current reality for NCFIT, but one that will most likely happen for other gym operations out there--so, we found it incredibly important to share this conversation with the greater community. Together, the three map out what policies and procedures NCFIT put in place to re-open safely, legalities, and the communications with coaches, staff, and members about an employee testing positive for COVID-19. This episode's goal is to help listeners better prepare for this possible situation, and get their action plan ready.
