COVID-19 PROTECTION AND SAFETY PLAN FOR THE GEORGETOWN MORGUE
Here at the Georgetown Morgue, the health and safety of our customers and staff have always been one of our top priorities. We appreciate your support of our family-owned Small Business. We love providing a fun place for people to get scared, and now, more than ever, it is a safer place as well. We have always kept our facility clean and sanitized for the safety of our staff and customers. But now we are adding several extra measures to further protect everyone. Staff will be continuously walking through the attraction every night making sure everything is safe. Intense daily inspections of our walkthrough will be performed by checking our walls, props, animatronics, customer paths, and actor areas. We have cleaners come in daily during our season to clean the facility from the night before. We will also be doing multiple cleanings each night, sanitizing, and wiping down high touch areas to ensure the area is safe.
With the current COVID-19 situation, we have gone even further and taken extra steps following health guidelines to ensure the safety and health of our customers and staff while having a screaming good time.
