ILLNESS PREVENTION IN THE STUDIO
|
The health and safety of our studio community are the top priority. Practicing an abundance of caution and because many students and/or those in their households have health issues that can put them at risk of serious disease, masks will continue to be required for all folks in the studio. Windows are open for added ventilation. Four HEPA air filters designed to filter out viruses and larger particles like pollen and smoke will be on during classes. A big thank you to the CH&MA community member who researched and purchased these filters! The instructor is fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID. |
