COVID guidelines

Overview 

COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and all associated variants of concern, still poses a health risk to our communities.  These guidelines attempt to minimize risk while maximizing the benefits of in-person training.
 
Guideline 1

All persons who participate in in-person training must show proof of vaccination. Individuals who have been vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna rNA vaccines, must demonstrate that they have received at least two doses. Individuals who have been vaccinated with the AstraZeneca or Janssen adenovirus-vectored vaccines must demonstrate that they have received at least one dose. Per CDC guidelines, a booster is highly recommended and preferred.  
 
Guideline 2

All persons who attend the in-person training session must demonstrate that they are not shedding virus on each day of the training session.  This will be demonstrated by a negative rapid antigen test that is taken not more than two hours prior to the scheduled session.  These rapid antigen tests are approximately $12-15 per test and are to be purchased or sourced by the participant and will not be provided by Kiem Sie Behavior & Training.  FDA-approved tests include BinaxNOW, QuickVue, and On/Go.  If you have a positive test regardless of symptoms, you will be rescheduled for a session a subsequent day.
 
Guideline 3

All persons who attend the training session must wear a securely-fitted mask at all times while indoors.  We prefer N95 masks or multi-layer cloth masks with a surgical mask.
 
Guideline 4

To increase social distancing, there will be a maximum of two persons at a training session. Exceptions will be made for groups from the family who live together or close friends who are in a shared “bubble.”

These requirements may change as guidelines evolve.
