• Working together in close proximity or sharing the same classroom environment with a with COVID-19 patient
• Traveling together with COVID-19 patient in any kind of conveyance
• Living in the same household as a COVID-19 patient

I would also encourage you to answer this quiz on Risk Assessment for COVID-19 to evaluate their health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, you will be classified into several categories. Further instructions will be given at the end of the quiz. Please act accordingly.
