National Western Complex Facility Cleaning COVID-19 Policy

Individual events will be responsible for specific guidelines as they pertain to their event. Please check individual event websites for details.

 The National Western Complex adheres to the recommendation set forth in the US EPA’s Emerging Pathogen Policy regarding cleaning disinfectants effective against the COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The National Western Complex is taking this very seriously and are following the advised protocols as described by the CDC and WHO. 

  • The Housekeeping Team will disinfect all “high-touch” surfaces. High touch surfaces include all door handles, doorknobs, push bars, rails, tabletops, benches, bathroom fixtures, toilets and water fountains 
  • CaterWest and Food Preparation: CaterWest/KM Concessions (our exclusive caterer) is coordinating globally to manage the impact of COVID-19 and protect employees, clients and consumers. Existing rules for food safety, personal hygiene, and infection control will be rigorously followed in order to minimize risk. In addition, any touchable surface including kitchen and public areas will be disinfected before, during, and after show hours. CaterWest/KM Concessions will be managing and communicating with ALL staff in daily pre-shift and safety meetings that are held in every department. Gloves will continue to be worn by all staff prepping and serving food.
