THE PLEDGE

I hereby attest that my business will abide by the following to meet the guidelines of the Show Me Strong Pledge:

PHYSICAL DISTANCING

In accordance with CDC recommendations, we will strongly encourage staff and guests to maintain six-feet of physical separation when possible.

HEALTHY HANDS

Hand sanitization stations may be made available in common areas as needed and as supplies are available.

CLEANING AND SANITIZATION

The standards recommended by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and Centers for Disease Control for cleaning and sanitation operations are being followed.

EQUIPMENT

To minimize direct contact, our employees are wearing face coverings when physical distancing guidelines cannot be practicably followed and may utilize physical barriers as needed.

SELF-SCREENING

A series of self-screening questions based on CDC guidelines is posted at points of entry. Learn more…

PLANNING & RESPONSE

We have developed COVID-19 preparedness and response plans for the safety of our employees and customers. In addition, workers who exhibit COVID-19-like symptoms will not be allowed to report for duty.

This Pledge is voluntary and based on the honor system. It is up to the individual to follow best practice guidelines.

Businesses have not been, and will not be, inspected by the State as part of the Pledge.
