ANYONE EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19, A TEMPERATURE OVER 100°, OR WHO HAS KNOWINGLY BEEN EXPOSED TO SOMEONE WHO IS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 SHOULD NOT COME TO ANY RAPSTC CLASSES.

Common symptoms of Covid-19 include sore throat, temperature above 100 degrees F, cough, and shortness of breath, new significant and unexplained fatigue or muscle aches, new loss of taste or smell. Additional symptoms may also include chills, repeated shaking, headache, sore throat and covid-toes.

As part of our efforts to reduce the risk of spreading any illness, we are taking the following precautions:

·         Staff and students are encouraged and required to wear masks when not able to social distance 6’ or more.

·         Visitors and vendors will have their temperature taken at the front gate and denied entry if they have a fever over 100 degrees.

·         Students must answer a series of health-related questions and have their temperature taken every day before entering the classroom.

·         Anyone who registers a temperature greater than 100 degrees will be escorted off campus immediately and will not be able to return to any RAPSTC property until cleared by a medical professional.

·         Hand sanitizers are available throughout the Training Center, but we encourage students to bring their own sanitizer so that it is immediately available to them throughout the day.

·         We strongly discourage making direct contact with other persons and ask that everyone practice appropriate sneezing and coughing etiquette.

·         We are cleaning classrooms daily.

·         Classroom doors will remain open to prevent the need to touch doorknobs, and all restrooms and other common areas are cleaned daily depending on traffic and touch points.

The health and safety of our staff, students, and visitors are a top priority for RAPSTC. As the public health crisis remains a fluid and evolving situation, we ask for your patience and understanding should the policies and procedures outlined in this email change with little notice. We will do our best to communicate openly and clearly whenever new information is available, or our procedures change.

Thank you for your understanding during this trying time. Anyone scheduled to attend upcoming training may contact the course coordinator should you have any questions or need additional information.
