What is TAA doing to protect students taking their courses during COVID-19?

TAA is following CDC guidelines and limiting our class attendance to a max of 20. We will be spacing students 6ft apart. We are requiring masks (we will have masks to provide) and temperature checks before entering the building for any course. We will be keeping up with whatever changes to CDC guidelines there may be.

I operate a pool in Wake County, do I need to do anything else?
