The DoSC Lab is so excited to reopen in person again! We will be introducing mandatory COVID-19 guidelines to follow to ensure the safety of lab personnel and participants.

​

Ground rules

​

• Before you conduct any in-person work:

  • Talk to Lucy and schedule times you will be available in-person

  • Fill out the “return-on-campus” module

  • If you have a vaccination record, please send us a copy

 

• During the day(s) you are scheduled to come in:

  • Fill out the “scheduled to work on-site” and confirm that you do not have symptoms

  • Make sure Lucy knows you are here ahead of time – we have to disclose who is in the building and when

  • Do a quick symptom check (take temperature)

  • Stay home if you or anyone in your household has been exposed to someone who tested positive for Covid in the last 14 days

• After each day you are scheduled to come in:

  • Report anything that seemed unsafe to Lucy or me

  • Fill out the anonymous google form if you don’t want to talk to us directly

​

  • No more than 2 lab members in 407 (RA room)

  • No more than 2 lab members in the main lab space (up to 6 when testing families)

  • No more than 1 lab member per office in SST (you guys don’t know about this space, so don’t worry)

• Always wear a mask & hand sanitizer

  • The lab will have extra

  • Masks must be worn over nose and mouth at all times

• Greet parents outside; bring extra masks

  • Parents can keep any mask they put on

• Parents must wear masks – you can say these are lab rules

• Offer parents the option to test outside for shorter studies

• Sanitize all surfaces:

  • Before each family

  • After each family

  • Before you leave the lab (wipe down computers, door handles, and anything you touched)

• Wash hands frequently; before and after each family

​

When working in the field (museums, schools etc.)

​

• Maintain 6 feet of distance when possible

• Always wear a mask & hand sanitizer

  • The lab will have extra

• Parents must wear masks – you can say these are lab rules

  • Bring extra masks for any parents who do not have them

• Bring wipes, sanitizer, gloves, and extra sets of toys/games.

  • Have a ‘dirty’ box (where toys, books, stimuli go after kids have played with them) – take to be wiped down in the lab

  • Have a ‘clean’ box

  • Don’t re-use toys on the same day before wiping them down

​

Important reminders

​

• We are not only keeping ourselves and others safe, but we are also modeling appropriate community member behavior

  • Maintain rules and guidelines regardless of vaccination status

  • Masks should be worn correctly

  • Respect for all parents & children

• Communicate with us anything that seems unsafe or that we can improve

• Masks & covid guidelines have become politicized – don’t engage; just state our lab rules and direct any issues to Nadia
