The NBA and Disney will find out soon enough whether they prepared for the chance of a lifetime, writes USA TODAY Sports' MarkG_Medina.
"This virus is not gone, unfortunately it’s only become worse in this state," the petition reads."Having our theme parks remain closed until cases are steadily decreasing would keep our guests, our employees and their families safe. Re-opening the theme parks is only putting our guests, employees, and families at higher risk for contracting COVID-19.
Nonetheless, union members stressed they have negotiated various health protocols with Disney to ensure employees are safe. The NBA’s quarantined site will not be open to the general public as Disney World will be. Yet, these measures offer a window into how Disney’s employees will handle the venues and hotels that the NBA will use.
Haicken said union officials plan to have more conversations with Disney this week about how the unspecified number of employees will manage the NBA’s campus site. But the NBA has already outlined various guidelines in its protocols for how Disney workers will operate at the hotels used: the Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs, the Grand Floridian and the Yacht Club.
To minimize foot traffic, housekeeping staff will service rooms once a week but can increase services upon request. As for public spaces, Clinton said housekeepers will routinely sanitize the elevator, lobby and hand rails. Public restrooms will also be closed every two hours for cleaning. NBA guidelines added housekeepers will frequently clean, disinfect and sanitize high-touch surfaces , medium-touch areas and low-touch areas .
