Cleaning and HVAC
Is YBCA cleaned more frequently than before?
Yes. Surfaces, railings, restrooms, and seating areas are cleaned and disinfected frequently.
Is it safe to be indoors with recirculated air?
YBCA uses the CDC-recommended MERV 13 filters or higher throughout our HVAC systems. Our buildings maximize outside air intake to the fullest extent possible. Doors and windows will remain open in our spaces whenever possible to substantially reduce the risk of community spread of COVID-19.
Please visit the CDC’s website for additional information about cleaning guidelines and air circulation recommendations.
