During the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s important to keep health and safety in mind. We’ve created a set of mandatory COVID-19 safety practices for both for Partners and learners of uBitto based on guidance from the World Health Organization. In addition, you should be familiar with general health and safety guidelines for COVID-19 safety, continue to monitor applicable government travel restrictions and advisories, and follow all national and local guidelines.
uBitto has introduced guidelines and programs to help address health and safety concerns, but these measures cannot eliminate all risk. Especially if you're in a higher risk category (ex: people above the age of 65 or people with pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes or heart disease), we recommend obtaining professional guidance and taking extra precautions when you are making the decision to book or offer an onsite Practice Session.
COVID-19 safety practices (required)
Wear a mask and practice social distancing
All Practice Buddies and learners must agree to:
- Wear a mask or face covering when interacting in person
- Maintain 6 feet/2 meters of distance from each other at all times
Don’t travel or accept a booking if you’ve recently been exposed to or have symptoms of COVID-19
To protect the health and safety of our community, it is uBitto’s policy that Practice Buddies should not accept onsite bookings (learn how to set off-days here) or interact face-to-face with their learners, and learners should not book a Practice session if any of the following are true:
- You are actively infected or have tested positive with COVID-19 in the past 30 days
- You suspect you are sick or have been exposed and are awaiting test results to confirm or deny a diagnosis of COVID-19
- You are showing symptoms or are concerned about possible infection of COVID-19
- You’ve had close, sustained contact with an individual confirmed or suspected to be infected with COVID-19, within the last 14 days*
Wash your hands regularly
Be sure to wash your hands often, especially if you’re in contact with people outside your reservation and are touching surfaces and utensils in a shared space or a common area.
- Wash your hands properly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol; cover your hands and rub them together until they feel dry
Note: Some countries might be under strict lockdown and are banning non-essential contacts altogether. Please check with your country's current COVID-19 regulations.
