• WTA will remain closed for 14 days through March 16. 
• All WTA students and faculty should self-quarantine at home for this period of time as well. Self-quarantine means not going out of the house during this two week period, and not allowing people (other than the ones living in your home) to come in.
• Parents, siblings who do not attend WTA, and other family members are not required to be quarantined (unless they develop symptoms).      
• If anyone in your household experiences respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulties breathing he/she should call a doctor and explain the exposure. Please don’t go to the doctor’s office without first alerting them that you are coming so they can properly prepare (and explain how you were exposed). 
• While at home, continue to follow health and sanitary practices. Clean surfaces often with disinfectant. Wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds and keep your hands away from your face.
• We were introduced to the concept of “Social Distance,” which means that quarantined adults should keep a distance of 6 feet from other people who live in the same home. We understand that this directive may be difficult for parents with young children, but the recommendation is, at a minimum, to maintain this distance with other adults.
