Our COVID safety protocol 

​

Connecting to Greatness safety guidelines and protocols were created in full compliance with the Center for Disease Control and the State of Massachusetts. The health, and safety of our clients and staff is our top priority. Staff will be trained on all protocols. We will be monitoring all updates to federal, state, and local guidelines. We anticipate these guides listed here to evolve. Check back here for updates.  

 

Face Mask 

 

Face masks are required for all employees and clients upon entering Connecting to Greatness facilities and during sessions.

 

How to properly wear a mask or face-covering 

 

When you wear a cloth mask, it should:

• Cover your nose and mouth,

• Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face,

• Be secured with ties or ear loops,

• Include multiple layers of fabric,

• Allow for breathing without restriction, and

• Be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape.

 

Physical Distancing 

 

Physical distance- standing at least six feet away from other individuals - is required within Connecting to Greatness facilities and during sessions.

 

Cleaning and Sanitation Practices

​

Connecting to Greatness uses cleaning products that meet EPA guidelines and are effective against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. Air filters and hand sanitizers are in each room and the common area. Therapy rooms are disinfected before each client's arrival, particularly for high-touch items. The office is thoroughly cleaned regularly.
