COVID-19 Reopening Template

The MIAMA Board of Directors and members have developed a COVID-19 Business Plan Template shown below to help your facility in reopening.

This is a required document for your facility to open and you must have it ready to show anyone at anytime without exception.

Please feel free to use this in developing your own facilities reopening plan. You will also find the COVID-19 Preparedness Plan for reopening from Fogerty Arena to reference for ideas. The Fogerty Arena plan is only a sample of what your facilities reopening plan could look like when it is completed. MIAMA thanks the Fogerty Arena for sharing this document.

MIAMA COVID-19 Reopening Template

The information provided on this page is informational and are recommendations only. MIAMA is not providing any facility a specific plan to re-open. Each facility will need to create their own plan and get approval of your plan from your local government authorities, state government authorities, federal government authorities and governing board of directors that approve your policies and procedures.
