What does this mean? We can have visitors in our office!! We have a few guidelines we will be operating under. Currently, we are seeing people by appointment only, and our computer lab remains closed until further notice. If you have an appointment, upon entering our office your temperature will be taken. If you have a temperature higher than 100.4° you will be asked to leave. If you do not have a temperature, you will be asked if you are experiencing any symptoms of being sick and if you have had any known exposure to anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19. We ask that everyone who enters our office, please wear a mask and maintain social distancing. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided for you. We are excited to have you back in the office!!
By now, you've probably seen photos circulating around social media of "face mask exempt" cards that people are using to not wear masks in public. While it's true that there are certain people with disabilities who are unable to wear masks, these cards are not it, and they are actually damaging the credibility of people with disabilities. Please read this article to learn more about why these cards are problematic, and how the ADA can actually protect and help accommodate people with disabilities who may not be able to wear a standard face mask. #HighRiskCOVID19 #COVID19 #ADA #WearAMask slate.com/technology/2020/06/ada-exemption-face-mask-cards-utter-nonsense.html?fbclid=IwAR2BoRZ5P...
