Public accommodations must implement safety measures to protect their customers and employees from COVID-19 exposure.  How will those measures impact service to guests with disabilities and a facility’s compliance with ADA Title III requirements?  This webinar (posted below) addresses many issues that can arise from COVID-19-related operational changes and how to minimize the risk of violating Title III of the ADA.

Topics include:

• How the following COVID-19 safety measures impact customers with disabilities and how to implement them in a manner that complies with Title III of the ADA:
  • Changes to entrances, parking, or accessible routes
  • Queue lines
  • Mask requirements for employees and customers
  • Social distancing while providing assistance to individuals with disabilities
  • Removal of dining and work surfaces to reduce seating capacity
• The legal framework for analyzing disability-related objections to safety/social distancing measures
