Some of the above plans or guidance are now out of date. Here are some updates:

• LIGO lab's research activities and restarting plan for PMA are outlined in a spreadsheet on the dcc.
• There are also many additional or finalized training materials.
  • Collection of LIGO COVID related docs
  • Guidance for CIT campus restarting research activities
  • LIGO's COVID-19 sharepoint page
  • Updated LIGO PPE, lab and restroom use, and clean room protocols
  • Level 1 training materials from LIGO is required for those working less than 6 feet from others (shared spaces). Level 2 is not required for currently planned activity in cryo.
  • Updated procedures for returning to campus from Caltech.
    • Includes a more extensive guide than before
  • There is a work permit process. The list of work permits can be found here.
• Most of the open questions raised above have been addressed
  • List of EPA approved cleaning products
  • Per the PPE and air flow requirements, since the Cryo lab will be a single person workspace we have no time constraint from COVID risk, and need only wear face covering when working solo. Other PPE requirements for clean optics still apply.
  • Shruti and I will be using the cryo lab on alternating days. Shruti will take Monday and Tuesday, Aaron will be Thursday and Friday. We will keep one unused day between our lab uses, at least for now.
  • We will set up a station with what we need from the electronics shop in the Cryo lab
  • LIGO has training and resources on best cleaning and disinfecting practice.
  • We can mostly use separate computer work stations, and keep personal tools at our own stations.
  • We will set up "in/out" boxes near the entry to cryo, so people can request supplies being stored there and pick them up after disinfecting. Information about shipping and receiving is on Sharepoint.
  • Rana has approved us to work in cryo
