On March 16, 1996, paramedics and fire department personnel were requested to evaluate complaints of illness among persons exposed to exhaust fumes in an indoor ice skating facility in Seattle. Indoor-air measurements detected elevated levels of carbon monoxide (CO), prompting evacuation of the building. An investigation of the cluster of CO poisonings related to the exposure was conducted March 16-18, by a pulmonary and hyperbaric medicine physician who treated one of the ill persons. This report summarizes the investigation findings, which underscore the importance of adequate maintenance of machinery equipped with internal combustion engines that are operated at indoor ice arenas and of proper ventilation of such arenas.
If the bowling alley or similar interactive amusement facility, bingo hall, simulcasting, or skating rink provides a meal for employees and/or contractors, the operator is recommended to have the meal individually packed for each individual.

The skating facility comprised two adjoining ice rinks on the lower level and a bingo hall on the upper level. On the evening of March 16, the ice in both rinks was smoothed with a 20-year-old ice-resurfacing machine powered by a propane engine. Immediately after the first rink was resurfaced, skaters in that rink had onset of fatigue, headache, and dizziness. Because several persons complained of these symptoms, paramedics and fire department personnel were requested to evaluate the symptoms. After measurements by fire department personnel indicated maximum CO levels of 354 ppm inside the ice arena, the approximately 300 persons in the building were evacuated.
Outside the building, paramedics evaluated, triaged, and treated the exposed persons. Two persons were intubated at the site because of acute respiratory distress. A total of 67 persons were transported to emergency departments (EDs) of nine different area hospitals by 22 emergency medical units and one city bus. Persons transported to EDs included those who had been in either of the ice rinks or in the bingo hall at the time of building evacuation. In addition to those referred to EDs from the scene, some persons independently sought medical evaluation.
Overall, 78 persons were evaluated in EDs; 47 (60%) were female. The median age was 14 years (range: 6 years-70 years). Based on data for 17 persons, the average carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level was 8.6% (range: 3.3%-13.9%). One 15-year-old patient was referred for hyperbaric oxygen therapy for symptoms of possible myocardial ischemia. All other patients were treated in the EDs and discharged. Some returned to skate the following day when the rink was reopened after CO levels had decreased to 2 ppm.
Based on the investigation, the source of CO was determined to be a malfunction of the ice-resurfacing machine (the only source of combustion in the arena). The building's ventilation system, which alternates with a dehumidifier, may have been off during operation of the machine. An open access door from the ice arena to the bingo hall probably permitted CO to diffuse throughout the facility.
Use of the ice-resurfacing machine was discontinued, and the machine was replaced by a newer model. Until a CO detector system is installed in the arena, ambient CO levels are monitored after each ice resurfacing. To assist in preventing future CO poisonings at the arena, the Seattle-King County Health Department advised the arena manager to submit a CO-monitoring plan to the health department.

Editorial Note
Editorial Note: CO is a colorless, odorless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels. CO induces toxic effects by tightly binding to hemoglobin to form COHb and reducing the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood; by binding with mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase, CO also interferes with cellular respiration (1). Because CO can induce toxicity through different pathways and because COHb levels begin to decrease as soon as exposure ceases, COHb levels indicate exposure but do not correlate consistently with either symptoms or prognosis.
Because early symptoms of CO exposure are nonspecific (e.g., headache, dizziness, weakness, and confusion) (1,2), CO poisoning may be misdiagnosed as acute, self-limited illnesses (e.g., upper respiratory tract infection and food poisoning). Four factors are associated with COHb levels and the severity of symptoms: 1) concentration of CO in the environment, 2) duration of exposure, 3) the activity level of those exposed, and 4) interval between exposure and clinical assessment. In general, however, exposure to CO concentrations of 80 ppm-140 ppm for 1-2 hours can result in blood COHb levels of 3%-6% (the normal COHb concentration is less than 2%; concentrations in smokers frequently may be 5%-9%) (3); this concentration may be associated with decreased exercise tolerance and, in persons who are otherwise at risk, can precipitate angina pectoris and cardiac arrhythmias (3). Clinical manifestations associated with CO concentrations of 105 ppm-205 ppm and COHb levels of 10%-20% include headache, nausea, and mental impairment. Manifestations associated with COHb levels of greater than 20% include more profound central nervous system effects, coma, and death (2).
CO intoxication is the most common form of unintentional poisoning in the United States (1). Although most unintentional exposures involve small numbers of persons and typically occur during the winter, episodes such as that described in this report (i.e., during indoor public gatherings) can occur throughout the year. For example, elevated ambient levels of CO and nitrogen dioxide have been documented at indoor sporting venues including arenas for tractor pulls, monster-truck jumps, and ice rinks (4-6). Production of CO in ice arenas has been attributed to ice-resurfacing machines, with rink CO levels of up to 150 ppm measured in simulation tests during operation of the machines (4), and CO levels as high as 117 ppm have been detected during ice hockey games in six arenas surfaced by propane-fueled machines (6). Some episodes of indoor CO exposure during sports events have been associated with substantial morbidity requiring acute medical evaluation of patients (4,7).
Skaters especially may be at risk for CO poisoning because they are engaged in strenuous activity that increases total lung ventilation and oxygen consumption. To ensure that COHb levels are less than or equal to 2% among nonsmoking skaters, the CO level for enclosed ice skating rinks should be less than or equal to 20 ppm (6). Workplace standards for CO exposure have been established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the permissible exposure limit for CO is 50 ppm as an 8-hour time-weighted average (8). In addition, CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommended exposure limit for CO is 35 ppm as a time-weighted average, and the maximum exposure of 200 ppm should not be exceeded at any time. Workplace standards were developed to protect generally healthy working-aged persons; therefore, these standards may not be applicable to children, the elderly, or persons with preexisting cardiopulmonary disease -- all of whom might attend events at public arenas. In the arena involved in the investigation in this report, CO levels substantially exceeded workplace standards because of the combination of a malfunctioning ice-resurfacing machine and inadequate ventilation.
Although recommendations to help minimize CO accumulation in ice rinks have been published (4), routine monitoring of indoor-air quality in ice arenas is not required in most states (9). Because of the potential for mass exposure to and intoxication with CO in indoor ice rinks, public health agencies in jurisdictions with indoor ice rinks should ensure that 1) operators of ice arenas are educated about prevention of CO poisonings, 2) routine monitoring of CO levels is conducted, 3) routine testing and maintenance of CO detectors are performed, 4) ice-resurfacing machines and heating systems are properly maintained, 5) battery-operated resurfacing equipment is used if available, and 6) air-circulation systems capable of exchanging air are used throughout the arena, locker rooms, and any other rooms. In addition, organizations (e.g., hockey leagues and figure skating clubs) should require periodic CO monitoring at the arenas they rent for practices and games.

Why is North Carolina extending Safer at Home Phase 2?
The governor and public health officials remain guided by science, data and facts in making decisions regarding COVID-19. Since moving into Phase 2 on May 22, 2020, several key metrics have been trending in a concerning direction:
- North Carolina’s daily number of positive COVID-19 tests is continuing to increase.
- The percentage of COVID-19 tests that are positive has remained high.
- Emergency department visits for COVID-19 like illnesses are increasing.
- Hospitalizations for COVID-19 continue to increase.
Doctors, public health officials, hospital administrators and health care providers are concerned that unless the spread of COVID-19 is limited, existing health care facilities may not have the capacity to care for those who become sick.
Additionally, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified before Congress on June 23, 2020, that the “next couple weeks are going to be critical” in the country’s ability to address increasing rates of COVID-19 infection.
In order to address these troubling metrics and slow the spread of COVID-19, North Carolina is continuing the measures of Executive Order No. 141, “the Phase 2 Executive Order” and is imposing a face-covering requirement — to slow the spread of this virus during the pandemic.

What is a cloth face covering?What is a cloth face covering?
A cloth face covering is a material that covers the nose and mouth. It can be secured to the head with ties or straps or simply wrapped around the lower face. It can be made of a variety of materials, such as cotton, silk or linen.
A cloth face covering may be factory-made, sewn by hand or improvised from household items such as scarfs, T-shirts, sweatshirts or towels.
Ideally, a face covering has two or more layers. These face coverings are not intended for use by healthcare providers in the care of patients.
Surgical masks, procedure masks and N95 respirators are not recommended for general public use or use in community settings, as these should be reserved for specific high-risk occupational settings, health care providers and other medical first responders in a health care setting.
When should I wear a cloth face covering?When should I wear a cloth face covering?
You should wear face coverings when in public places, particularly when those locations are indoors or in other areas where physical distancing is not possible.
Under this order, face coverings are required in retail businesses, restaurants, personal care and grooming businesses and several other settings.
How should I wear a cloth face covering?How should I wear a cloth face covering?
Be sure to place the face covering over your nose and your mouth and keep it in place at all times while you wear it.
Be careful not to touch your eyes, nose and mouth when removing or adjusting a face covering, and wash your hands immediately after removing or adjusting.
How should I care for a cloth face covering?How should I care for a cloth face covering?
Wash your cloth face covering frequently, ideally after each use, or at least daily. Have a bag or bin to keep cloth face coverings in until they can be laundered with detergent and hot water and dried on a hot cycle. If you must re-wear your cloth face covering before washing, wash your hands immediately after putting it back on and avoid touching your face. Discard cloth face coverings that:
- No longer cover the nose and mouth
- Have stretched out or damaged ties or straps
- Cannot stay on the face
- Have holes or tears in the fabric
How well do cloth face coverings work to prevent the spread of COVID-19?
Scientific evidence suggests that use of cloth face coverings by the public during a pandemic can help reduce disease transmission. Cloth face coverings can reduce the release of infectious particles into the air when someone speaks, coughs or sneezes.
Cloth face coverings are not a substitute for staying 6 feet apart, washing hands and staying home when ill.
Do I need to wear a face covering while exercising or walking outdoors?Do I need to wear a face covering while exercising or walking outdoors?
No. If you are able to safely maintain at least 6 feet distance from others, you do not need to wear a face covering when exercising and walking outdoors.
Should children wear cloth face coverings?Should children wear cloth face coverings?
Cloth face coverings should NOT be put on babies and children under the age of 2 because of danger of suffocation. Children over the age of 2 should wear cloth face coverings if they can reliably wear, remove and handle cloth face coverings throughout the day.
What if I am a person with hearing loss and am concerned about not being able to read lips?What if I am a person with hearing loss and am concerned about not being able to read lips?
People who are deaf or hard of hearing often use lipreading to help understand what those around them are saying. When people are wearing cloth face coverings, other communication strategies are needed. Try:
- Finding a cloth face covering that has a clear plastic area that allows the lips to be visible
- Writing notes back and forth
- Writing on a white board to communicate
- Using a free speech-to-text app on a mobile device
- Gesturing – or, if needed, stepping several additional feet back from the person and removing your cloth face covering long enough to communicate
What if I am or support someone with a disability who cannot wear a face covering?
Some people may have trouble breathing or sensitivity to having something placed over their face. If you or someone you support is unable to wear a cloth face covering, be sure to take other steps to help avoid unnecessary exposure.
What if I am worried about being profiled or subjected to bias if I wear a cloth face covering?What if I am worried about being profiled or subjected to bias if I wear a cloth face covering?
Some people may experience increased anxiety and fear of bias and being profiled wearing face coverings in public spaces – but wearing a cloth face covering protects your family, friends and neighbors.
If you are the target of ethnic or racial intimidation as the result of adhering to the face covering provision or as a result of the pandemic, you are strongly encouraged to report the matter to law enforcement or another government entity.
Everyone should be able to wear cloth face coverings without fear of profiling or bias, and any type of racial intimidation, profiling or bias for wearing a face covering should not be tolerated.
Will children have to wear face coverings at day or overnight camps and child care?Will children have to wear face coverings at day or overnight camps and child care?
Children 11 years or older must wear face coverings at day or overnight camps when they are or may be within 6 feet of another person.
Will children in K-12 public schools be required to wear cloth face coverings? Will children in K-12 public schools be required to wear cloth face coverings?
Masks are required for all school staff and adult visitors, and all middle and high school students when they are or may be within 6 feet of another person, unless the person (or family member, for a student) states that an exception applies.
Cloth face coverings must be worn by students and staff inside school buildings and anywhere on school grounds, including outside. They will also be required while traveling on buses or other transportation vehicles.
Cloth face coverings remain strongly encouraged for elementary school students, if appropriate for that child, but are not required for them.
