COVID-19 Considerations
What to Expect
Through the hard work of Dynamy staff and students we have been able to successfully run throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite these challenging times, our students have been able to navigate internship experiences, live independently in apartments, and explore Worcester, newly dubbed, “Smile City”.
To help reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 and foster a safe and healthy community, precautions will continue to be taken during your time at Dynamy. These precautions may be lifted in the future if they are no longer deemed necessary and additional precautions may also be put into place if they are considered necessary. Please note that following these guidelines is critical to the safety of our community.
Screening:
- All students will complete a daily self-assessment for symptoms
- All students will be screened on a daily basis by Residential Coordinators
- All visitors to administrative buildings and student apartments must complete a symptom screening prior to entering the building
Mask Requirements:
Program Activities
- Follow regulations regarding group gathering size in apartments and other Dynamy activities
- All students must inform staff if they are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 prior to arriving at program activities (e.g. advising, Monday Programming)
- For group activities all participants must wear masks regardless of vaccination status
- All students must use hand sanitizer when entering offices or apartments, including rest room visits and different apartments within the same building
- During non-program activity time, students must continue to wear masks while in the main building
Internships
Students will be encouraged to wear masks indoors, but it is ultimately up to the discretion of the individual sponsor/business policy. Dynamy and sponsors will follow local, state, and CDC guidelines.
