During your Red Cross training we will attempt to reduce the spread of the flu by implementing the following procedures:

* All participants will receive gloves to be worn when practicing skills on the manikins.

* Each participant will practice on their own manikin, if manikins must be shared, they will be sanitized between each participant and you will receive a disposable  face shield.

* A break will be given after the skill sessions to allow for hand washing.

* Hand sanitizer and tissues will be available in each classroom for participants to use.

Thank for you helping us to reduce the spread of the flu and to all stay healthy!
