<div dir="ltr">Hi!<div><br></div><div>Staff are returning to the studio this week on a rotating basis. There are three of us and we will go in every third day to do are backlog of recording projects that aren't book related. Then we are working from home on post production. Perkins controls when our volunteers can return and they are not anxious to do so. July is the earliest they are considering and even that might not happen. </div><div><br></div><div>We have four recording booths so right now there are no worries about contamination because we can each work in our own booths. Still working out how we would have multiple people in and out of them on a daily basis and keeping them safe. They can wear gloves to operate the equipment and/or disinfect between sessions. I worry about whether there can be traces of the virus in the air after they have been in a closed booth for an hour or more. Maybe implement a minimum period of time between sessions to air out. Our head custodian said we could spray Lysol in the booth after. </div><div><br></div><div>So still working things out I guess! Curious to hear what others are doing as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Best to all,</div><div>Nancy</div><div><br></div><div><span

I posed this question a few weeks ago and at the time I got no response. I guess we are all just trying to figure this out. I, too, would be interested in how to open up in a way that reassures our volunteers.</div>

<p>I was wondering if there were any recording studios open? If so, what precautions have you taken to open up and keep contact minimal?</p>
