COVID-19 Protocols at First Aid Plus

Our 20-person classroom has been marked off and can safely accommodate 8-9 students while following the strictest of COVID-19 safety protocols.

We have increased cleaning, ensuring that all hard surfaces, countertops, door handles, and all touched surfaces are cleaned with a hospital-grade disinfectant multiple times a day. A cleaning schedule is placed in sight, located on the fridge.

We have installed HEPA air purifiers in both the office and the classroom.

We vacuum twice a day using a hospital-grade HEPA filter vacuum.

Staff are monitored every day and students are asked to fill out a COVID-19 questionnaire upon entry and must have their temperature taken.

Hand sanitizers are available at the door, in the lunch area, as well as in the classroom.

No equipment is shared for the duration of the class

All equipment and class materials are thoroughly sanitized after each use.
