Social Hygiene Guidelines for SDCOE Staff Delivering Supplies  

Most Importantly, Prevention:

• Please stay home if you are at higher risk for severe symptoms of COVID-19: over age 65 OR have an underlying health condition.
• Please stay home if you are ill (fever, cough, sneezing, sore throat, new rash).  

At Home as You Prepare to Work:

• Collect your ID badge and prepare to wear it
• Bring a face covering. A cloth “face covering” should cover the nose and mouth and be secured to the head. Make a “do it yourself” (DIY) version from: T-shirts, bathing suits, towels, bandana, and pillowcases. DIY face coverings made from clothing can be more easily cleaned, compared to surgical masks. DIY helps reserve surgical masks for health care providers!
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has instructions and tips on “sew and no-sew” face coverings.
• If you don’t have or can’t provide one: SDCOE has ordered a supply and will provide one for you once they arrive. 

At Student’s Home Site:

• Call ahead to arrange delivery of supplies (When will they be home? Who will receive the materials?)
• Wear your school badge.
• Wear your face covering. 
• Cover your hand before you knock on the door (if you don’t have gloves, your sleeve will work) or use elbow to ring the doorbell.
• Place materials at door.
• Back away from door at least 6 feet.
• Ensure materials are received. 

Tips for Wearing, Removing, and Caring for Face Covering:

• Avoid touching your mask. Avoid readjusting.
• If you touch or readjust, wash your hands/change your gloves.
• If you don’t plan on wearing your mask on the way home, bring along a paper bag with your name on it. Paper bags are best because they allow your mask to dry out (plastic bags do not).
• Don’t share a mask with someone else.
• Launder and dry your DIY cloth mask after one day of use before using again. 

Arriving Back Home:

• Keep your mask on until you get home.
• Once home and you remove your mask, store or wash as described above and wash your hands.
