COVID-19 Health Protocol
In light of the current public health crisis, TRC has implemented the following health requirements for chaperones, drivers, and passengers based on CDC recommendations and public health research.
Wear a face covering
All persons in the car and chaperones interacting with patients will be required to wear a mask or other face covering at all times. TRC chaperones will be issued custom and CDC approved face masks. Masks must be worn for the duration of the ride and patient interaction. Please remember to sanitize your hands before and after putting on or touching your mask.
Clean the car before the ride
Please follow the guidelines provided by local TRC staff and refer to these only in their absence.
The following is a list of health items to consider prior to chaperoning:
