COVID-19 INFO: 
 We have done a lot of research and talked to a lot of BCCDC representatives (BC Centre for Disease Control) to learn about what protocols we can take to be as safe as possible, and what to do in case any of our clients, staff or anyone else comes into contact with COVID-19.  Because of this extensive research we are confident that with our strict precautions, we can continue running our studios safety!   We wanted to share our research to help our clients stay educated about this, as well as to reinforce some of our precautions

The BCCDC (BC Centre for Disease Control) rates people into 3 categories.  A, B and C people and these are based on levels of exposure to COVID-19 and have different protocol requirements:  
 
Definitions:

  • Exposure: people who have been in "close proximity" to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19

  • Close Proximity: someone not wearing a mask, who has been 6ft or less from someone with COVID-19, who also had not been wearing a mask, for 15 minutes or more.  Also, if someone has spent time at a location while NOT wearing a mask, where a person with COVID-19 has NOT been wearing a mask, and has potentially left infected droplets on a surface (such as a bathroom counter or door knob) and has not sanitized properly may be considered to have been in “close proximity” and may have had “exposure”.

Because all of our in-person lessons require masks, constant sanitization, and virtual lessons for anyone with any sickness symptoms or exposure to the virus, the BC CDC has deemed us a low risk for exposure.
 
“A" people:  are people that have tested positive for COVID-19
1. Must quarantine for 14 days and monitor for symptoms.
2. If necessary follow protocols to visit doctors or hospital if necessary. 
 
“B”people: are people who have been in “close proximity” to someone with COVID-19 and may have had “exposure” to COVID-19.
1. Must quarantine for 14 days and monitor for symptoms. 
2. If symptoms are observed, go get a test. 
3. If positive, a “B” person becomes an “A” person. 
 
“C” people: are people who been in “close proximity” to a “B” person.  
1. Should monitor for symptoms but DOES NOT need to quarantine
2. If symptoms are observed, go get a test. 
 
NOTE:  anyone observing symptoms (regardless of being an A, B, or C person or not) should go get a test. 
 
DEEP COVE MUSIC COVID-19 PROTOCOLS

2. Students MUST sign in to confirm screening questions and have their temperature taken and recorded.  Screening Questions:
