Robbins Brook Pool Opening

Robbins Brook HomeOwners Association

We have a surprise!

The Pool will open Friday, July 10th with restrictions.

by Robbins Brook HOA on July 9th

It is with great excitement but much caution that Robbins Brook’s Board of Directors have decided to open the pool for a trial run from July 10th at 10am to the 12th at 8pm. A determination will be made soon afterwards on moving to a week-to-week schedule with reduced hours. 

Although the state is still in Phase 2 of reopening we believe that if managed safely Robbins Brook Pool can open for the season. This will take a combined effort of the entire neighborhood to ensure that we follow the list of rules and guidelines put in place by the State and Robbins Brook HOA Board of Directors.

All residents must be in good standings with their dues in order to swim. If your access has been denied due to non payment, an activation fee will apply.

Pool Hours, Weekly 8:00am to 8:00pm

Requirements for the Use of Face Coverings and Masks

NCDHHS June 30, 2020

North Carolina took early and aggressive action to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our state.  These actions prevented our healthcare systems from being overwhelmed and provided valuable time to build our state’s capacity to respond to this crisis.  Now, we

are seeing increasing cases and hospitalizations from COVID19 across our state. 

With more North Carolinians leaving their homes as we ease restrictions, the risk for COVID-19 exposure and infection increases. We have important goals: to protect our 

families, friends and neighbors from getting seriously ill, to restore our economy and get people back to work, and to get our children back to school. To attain these goals, we must remain vigilant and continue to work together to combat the spread of COVID-19 by taking preventive actions to slow the spread of COVID-19.  

The preventive actions include the 3 Ws:

• Wear a cloth face covering.
• Wait 6 feet apart from others.
• Wash your hands. 

Over the past few months, we have learned a lot about COVID-19 transmission. We know now that people who are infected, but do not have symptoms, can infect others by spreading respiratory droplets through activities like speaking, coughing, laughing, and singing.

New scientific evidence suggests that public use of face coverings can help reduce disease transmission. Face coverings are not a substitute for other important prevention practices

and should be used in addition to staying 6 feet apart, washing hands, and staying home when ill.

This document updates existing NC DHHS guidance for the use of face coverings by the general public when outside the home. It mandates that face coverings be worn statewide

As outlined below. It is not a substitute for existing guidance about social distancing and handwashing.

Guidance for People

People must wear face coverings when in public places, indoor or outdoor, where physical distancing of six (6) feet from other people who are not members of the same household or residence is not possible. These settings include, but are not limited to:

• Inside of, or in line to enter, any indoor public space, including public schools;
• Waiting for or riding on public and private multi person transportation, including but not limited to buses, taxis, ride sharing, private care service, vans;
• Engaged in work, whether at the workplace or performing work off-site, when they are or may be within six (6) feet of other people, including working in or walking through common areas, such as lobbies, hallways, stairways, elevators, and parking facilities;
• Obtaining services in a healthcare setting;
• While outdoors in public spaces when maintaining a physical distance of 6 feet from persons who are not members of the same household or residence is not feasible.

This restriction does not apply to persons while inside their residence or the personal residence of another. Face coverings may be removed to participate in a religious ritual.
