Based on responses, College Track staff will determine if it is safe for the student to come to the site.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a student is required to return home, site staff will help to arrange transportation and keep the student isolated until transportation arrives. Once home, the student should begin home isolation and follow the CDC\u2019s guidance for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/if-you-are-sick\/steps-when-sick.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat to Do If You Are Sick\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to this check-in process, our new safety protocols include, but are not limited to: educating our staff and volunteers on safety protocols, cleaning common areas, providing personal protective equipment, and abiding by guidance issued from the CDC and authorized governmental agencies to do everything we can to keep our community healthy.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b><\/b><b>2.
