Mitigating Risk
Kehillah is using a layered mitigation strategy to help limit the spread of COVID-19.
Our 6 Pillars of Prevention are as follows:
Hygiene:
Hand washing and hand sanitizing stations have been placed at building entrances and high-use areas, as well as classrooms and offices.
Screening
Students and employees are screened daily for COVID-related symptoms and tested weekly for COVID-19.
Distancing
Distancing remains a mitigation strategy. Although we do not intend on implementing 2021-22 social distancing protocols, we ask our community to be mindful of others’ personal space and refrain from physical contact with one another.
Masks
Masks must be at least three-ply, form-fitting, and cover the nose and chin.
Ventilation
Our HVAC goes above and beyond recommendations with MERV filtration as well as UV lights. Additionally, classrooms have been outfitted with portable HEPA filters.
Vaccination
We require all individuals who can be vaccinated to do so. Vaccinations help stop the spread of COVID-19 and strongly minimize the risk of severe infection or death.
Although there is no way to mitigate all risk, used in combination, these six pillars help protect us from spreading COVID. We can’t do this without everyone’s cooperation and collaboration. Maintaining COVID-safe behavior in school and outside of school will help prevent transmission.
