Physical Barriers and Guides
The EOP should educate everyone and establish requirements for installing barriers and providing physical guides to control exposure to COVID-19 in all school facilities.
- Install physical barriers, such as sneeze guards and partitions, particularly in areas where it is difficult for individuals to remain at least 6 feet apart (e.g., reception desks).
- Provide physical guides, such as tape on floors or sidewalks and signs on walls, to ensure that staff and children remain at least 6 feet apart in lines.
Communal Spaces
It's important that the EOP develop strategies and establish requirements for preventing and minimizing exposure to COVID-19 in communal spaces in schools.
- Close communal use shared spaces such as dining halls and playgrounds with shared playground equipment if possible; otherwise, stagger use and clean and disinfect between use.
- Add physical barriers, such as flexible plastic screens, between bathroom sinks, especially when they cannot be at least 6 feet apart.
