As schools welcome back students during the post COVID-19 pandemic, the CDC is recommending school administrators engage in specific practices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
In most of the CDC recommendations, the posting of signs is one of the more effective solutions school administrators can use to deploy a sound COVID-19 preventative plan, so we have included strategic sign design and placement suggestions next to each of the CDC's recommendations to assist school administrators with their COVID-19 preventative planning measures.
1.) Encourage everyone in the school and the community to practice preventive behaviors.
2.) Implement multiple SARS-CoV-2 mitigation strategies (e.g., social distancing, cloth face coverings, hand hygiene, and use of cohorting).
3.) Communicate, educate, and reinforce appropriate hygiene and social distancing practices in ways that are developmentally appropriate for students, teachers, and staff.
4.) Maintain healthy environments (e.g., cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces).
In all four of these CDC recommendations, using signage is an excellent way to keep the preventative planning measures school administrators plan to deploy in the forefront of students, staff, faculty and school visitors.
It is always a good idea to strategically place a variety of different signage in multiple heavily trafficked locations of the school for maximum exposure. From wall mounted rigid signs hanging on doors and along walls to large format vinyl banners that can be hung from ceilings across hallways, using a variety of signs in conjunction with banners that contain similar announcements and notices will help sustain a more indelible message in the student body.
5.) Develop a proactive plan for when a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19.
6.) Educate parents and caregivers on the importance of monitoring for and responding to the symptoms of COVID-19 at home.
For these last two CDC recommendations, signs are an excellent way to educate students and parents of what to do should they show symptoms of or test positive for COVID-19. Using signage for these purposes is also effective in reminding parents and students to occasionally get tested for COVID-19 as a responsible measure to ensure students and staff are not unknowingly spreading the Coronavirus.
