"Since reopening on June 15, the Grand Traverse Bay YMCA has adhered to strict cleaning protocols," the gym said in a statement. "On a nightly basis, we contract a commercial company for deep cleaning along with implementing daily rigorous cleaning protocols, including the use of our two electro-static spray machines, as well as the appointment of dedicated cleaners on our wellness floor and in our common areas at all times of operation. Additionally, several member access cleaning and hand sanitizing stations have been added to enhance the cleaning efforts here at the Y. We ask that you continue to self-screen before entering the facility, follow our mask wearing requirement as posted throughout the facility, and adhere to all social distancing recommendations."
