TLG Commitment:

HEPA filters in each learning space
HVAC assessment and improvement
Sanitizer and wipes in every room
Signage
Anyone who is unable to meet these expectations can contact TLG to request an accommodation.
Hand Hygiene
Infection can be spread before you have symptoms of being ill and after you have stopped showing symptoms. Washing your hands is one of the best ways to prevent viruses from spreading especially before and after eating or preparing food, after using the washroom and after coughing or sneezing. TLG requires you to perform hand hygiene on entry to the office.
Wash Your Hands
Wash your hands often and thoroughly throughout the day
Use warm water and soap, then lather and scrub for at least 15 seconds
Rinse hands under warm, running water
Dry hands using a clean towel
Use Hand Sanitizer
Sanitize your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available
Extra Tips for Hand Hygiene
Try not to touch your face, mouth or eyes with your hands. If you do, sanitize after.
Sneeze and cough into your elbow or use a tissue to cover your mouth and nose to prevent germs from going into the air or onto your hands.
