If Cast Members feel sick, they will be asked to stay home to prevent the spread of any illness. While they are in the parks, they will be expected to follow guidelines like “washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, following proper respiratory cough etiquette, avoiding close contact with people who are sick and avoiding touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.”
