As each day goes by dealing with the COVID-19, more and more clubs and courses are being asked to shut down entirely, shut down departments, or limit hours based on numbers of members or guests.

It is paramount that you stay current with CDC and state and local health officials’ guidance in real time. Find your State Health Department here and other CDC Accredited State and Local Health Departments here. 

Because updates differ by state, we also encourage you to tune in to any addresses from your local mayors and state governors or monitor this stay at home order interactive map. These updates often contain vital information on employment and local business-related matters.

You can also check with your employer on their human resources policies and procedures. If you do find yourself in need of additional resources, please see the links and contact information below for your respective states.
