STEPS TO A SAFE RETURN Full List of Safety Measures

To ensure a healthy learning environment, we are asking in-person lesson students to observe these three steps for a safe return when visiting a WCM location.

FOR STUDENTS
On February 25, 2022, the CDC updated its guidance on masking policies, and on Tuesday, March 1 the City of Milwaukee mask mandate will expire. Based on these updates, the Conservatory will not be requiring masking in its space beginning on March 1, 2022.

We do encourage you to do the following:

• If you wish to wear a mask, please do.
• If you have COVID-19 symptoms, please stay home. Ask your instructor about a virtual option for your lesson/class.
• If you are at high risk, please wear a mask.

HEALTH SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE

Beginning on September 1, WCM will be moving to self-screening for COVID-19 in place of the HealthCheck app. The questions will be the same as the ones asked on the app, and will be posted on the entry doors at all Conservatory locations. Questions will be updated as needed.

1. Have you tested positive for Covid-19 in the past 14 days?
2. Have you travelled to a known ‘hotspot’ or a restricted state as documented by the Publish Health Authority in the last 14 days?
3. Have you had a new or worsening cough within the last 14 days?
