Trying to Prevent an outbreak

Hi all.  I currently manage three apartment complexes, SF, and some commercial buildings.  The largest apartment being 176 units and totally units around 350. I am trying to prevent the possibility of spreading or outbreaks.  

In Tallahassee, FL and we currently have no confirmed cases; however I am sure its here we just don't know yet. I am trying to put measures in place to prevent anything. Here are the changes I have put in place. Looking for feedback and if anyone can think of anything I have missed.  Yes I may being paranoid or over the top, but want to protect my tenants and staff.  Thoughts?

*Closed our gym, pool and not allowing parties in our clubhouse. 

*All staff/contractors that enter a unit, must wear disposable gloves inside the unit and will change gloves between units.  Provided disposable mask for staff in case they chose to use.

*Spraying down of our office, doorknobs, bathrooms, twice a day.

*Asked tenants if they wish to withdraw non emergency work orders until this passes and restrict access to their units unless of emergency.

*Asked tenants to contact us if they have recently traveled overseas or have symptoms. (I know they probably wont).

*Asked tenants to avoid coming to office and asked to email, call, or text with work orders or issues.

*No longer accepting packages for tenants. 

*Encouraged online rental payments and e-leases.  Explained office staff will wear gloves when processing payments and paperwork.

*Asked tenant to contact us if they are experiencing job loss, loss of hours, etc. so we could set up a plan for them now.
