Pandemic (Covid-19)
Policy & Consideration
FACT: Though we ALL are having a learning curve during this time, we ALL should have a sense of hypervigilance and we ALL should be pandemic-conscious for the safety and well-being of everyone.
The following are recommended modifications and health precautions extrapolating from clinical research and public expectations.
​Equipment and Classroom management:
-
We are encouraging multiple small class sizes of no more than nine (9) students per session when proper spacing permits.
-
1:1 ratio; student per manikin.
-
We are NOT performing ventilations/rescue breaths with the manikins during our regular Heartsaver CPR AED classes.
-
Delivery of breaths will be simulated/verbalized only.
-
Sanitizer wipes will be provided for students to sanitize equipment before, during, and after the session.
-
We are practicing as much social distancing as possible with a relatively large space staged accordingly.
​
Student health management and expectations
-
All students are required to provide proof of vaccination or negative covid test (taken 72 hrs before training date).
-
We are requiring any type of universal masking for everyone to be worn throughout the training session (which includes over mouth AND nose).
-
Wash hands upon arrival and place on gloves prior to handling equipment; 2 pairs of latex-free gloves will be provided.
-
Hand sanitizer will be available for each student to use during any class.
-
We are discouraging the sharing of writing utensils and other personal items.
-
We are reminding everyone to limit, if not eliminate, any face touching.
-
We are adopting other possible protective measures for everyone's health and safety.
