Preventive Measures On Campus

Walsh College follows Oakland County Department of Health and Human Services guidelines for disinfecting hard surfaces that are touched often or touched by more than one person. These include door handles, registration countertops, pens, copiers, faxes, phones, etc

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are available in campus restrooms, classrooms, and high-traffic areas such as student registration counters.

Centers for Disease Control Recommendations

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
