WMTC & COVID-19

COVID-19 has been with us for two years and counting. While we are gradually learning how to live with the virus and its mutations, risk tolerance varies considerably among geographic areas, individuals, and course sponsors. As a result, many sponsors require students to be vaccinated, while some require precourse or even daily testing, and others do not. Look closely at the course admission criteria and PPE requirements during registration to ensure they align with your beliefs. In courses with no or limited admission criteria, students must wear an N-95, KN-95, or NF-95 respirator at all times to reduce the risk of transmitting the coronavirus. Students in courses with robust admission criteria may choose to wear a mask or respirator to increase their protection if not already required; those at high risk of severe disease should discuss the decision to attend a course with their physician.
