COVID-19 RELATED INFORMATION:
Due to COVID-19; we are capping class sizes to no more than 20 people. Classroom space will be setup to allow for students to remain 6 ft apart during didactic lessons. Prior to starting class each day, students will be asked the following screening questions. With recent events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we feel it is necessary to employ this procedure to help and reduce potential risks to our students and staff. If students indicate any signs or symptoms of being ill at the time of the course, they will be asked not to attend and can work with SOLO to reschedule a training date.
Students should review the information below, prior to coming to class. If they plan on answering yes to any of these questions the day of the course, they should reconsider attending a training at a later time, after the 14 day time-frame.
- Have you been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19?
- Have you had a fever or felt feverish in the last 72 hours?
- Are you experiencing any respiratory symptoms including a runny nose, sore throat, cough or shortness of breath?
- Are you experiencing any new muscle aches or chills?
- Have you experienced any new muscle aches or chills?
- Have you experienced any new changes in your sense of taste or smell?
- Have you traveled outside of the United States in the last 14 days prior to starting the class?
For practical work, students are paired with one person, and one person only. These people will work together during practical sessions/assessments and otherwise will be expected to remain separated during class. The pair will remain the same from day one through day two. We will not be teaching group scenarios and will also only discuss certain components, such as patient lifting and moving.
