Covid-19 Staff Resources
Protocol for staff who have been exposed or tested positive for Covid-19
When any staff member tests positive, we are doing our own internal contact tracing to look at the date of the initial onset of symptoms and go back 48 hours to see who had exposure to that individual, for at least 15 minutes, of within 6 feet or less.
We then notify those individuals and/or classes potentially exposed to let them know. However, we do not name the individual (unless that’s their choice) due to medical privacy issues, just to let them know about their exposure to an individual who tested positive.
As always, we are continuing to have the studio cleaned and sanitized daily (at significant cost) to help minimize prevent any potential spread.
Free Covid-19 Testing Sites
Testing sites recommended:
Saliva test: https://curative.com (Palmer Events Center and other convenient drive through locations, results back in 24-48 hours)
Minute Clinic – Qualify for a free Rapid or PCR test if you have been exposed and have at least one symptom (headache, couch etc). https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/covid-19-testing
Archived Zoom Info
A few VERY important reminders:
1. You HAVE TO end class 5 min early for transition time
2. Periodically check your waiting room for students arriving late
3. It is very very very important that you END MEETING and SIGN OUT when you are done in a studio.
4. It is now more important than ever that you are responsive and checking band for updates. please turn on notifications so you can see if there is anything new added ( zoom meetings, new discoveries, procedures etc,)
5. HAVE FUN with your kiddos. I know they are so happy to see you and their friends!
For your dance space, please make sure the environment is clean and professional. Maybe even get creative to make the background a “classroom” (lots of ideas online) Please send Kathy pictures of the space you intend on using.
As you all know we are now under shelter in place orders, so please work from home. You still have to read the disclaimer, so please don’t forget or we/ you are liable.
