Communicating School COVID-19 Requirements and Promoting Safe Behaviors

The CDC recommends that schools promote behaviors that reduce the spread of coronavirus, including posting prominent signs and messages:

  • Post signs in highly visible locations (e.g., building entrances, restrooms, dining areas) to promote everyday protective measures and describe how to stop the spread of germs (such as by properly washing hands and properly wearing a mask).
  • Include messages about behaviors that prevent the spread of COVID-19 when communicating with faculty, staff and students.

Schools should also consider posting messages in high-traffic areas such as sidewalks and parking lots in addition to hallways and restrooms. Colorful floor labels attract attention and can be useful to direct pedestrian traffic in desired patterns.
