Postsecondary Career Schools and the Coronavirus
March 18, 2020
NEPCSA has learned that public health officials in some states are conducting inspections of local businesses, including private career schools, to ensure compliance with new policies enacted to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Some schools have learned that public health officials consider "single room or space" bans as per building, not per classroom.
In Rhode Island, Governor Gina Raimondo announced that gatherings of 25 or more people have been banned statewide. Citizens are advised to only leave home for essential errands, such as grocery shopping, getting gas, and visiting the pharmacy. While public transit remains open, citizens should take care not to board a bus with 25 people on it already, the governor said, and instead wait for the next one.
In Massachusetts, Governor Charlie Baker issued an emergency order limiting gatherings to 25 individuals and prohibiting on-premises consumption of food or drink at bars and restaurants, beginning on March 17th and effective until April 6th.
In Connecticut, Governor Ned Lamont signed a new executive order that revises the previously enacted prohibition on large gatherings to a capacity of 50 people.
