COVID policy update
We are required to consider the safety of our attendees during these virtual classroom trainings. As such, the following policy has been implemented for the safety of all of our participants.
Please remember:
If any participants will be sharing a screen for the coming class, inform the training coordinator, Brenda Codella at bcodella@umass.edu, ahead of time. - UMTC can send circular discs to towns/departments to mark distances, mail masks and trial size hand sanitizers if needed.
There will be a Safety Briefing at the beginning of the training session to announce these protocols, to do our part in stopping the spread of COVID-19.
 
If participants are in the same room:
Participants must be 6’ apart and wearing masks. (UMTC team members have been told to stop a class if they see that these requirements are not being followed)
Virtual meeting video must be turned on when possible to increase interaction, confirm attendance, and encourage social distancing
