Did you know that the Return to Campus Guide is packed with useful information?

Below is an excerpt on General Safety Practices:

General Safety Practices:     

• In the best interest of the health and safety of our community and based on instructions from the USG, effective July 15th all GHC employees and students must wear face coverings when inside GHC buildings (see usg.edu/coronavirus for more details).
• Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds –use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol) if soap and water are not available.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Stay home if you are sick.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Get a flu shot. A flu shot will not protect against COVID-19, but if you do get the flu, your symptoms will be less severe, easing the burden on healthcare facilities. It will also reduce your chances of being mistakenly quarantined for COVID-19, when you have an unrelated illness.
• Avoid sharing common office supplies such as pens and notebooks.
• Develop sanitizing procedures for work areas with commonly used or shared equipment, tools, computers, copiers, etc.
