As California prepares for the 2022-2023 school year, local health jurisdictions have identified K-12 as a specific concern for COVID-19 outbreaks. Leveraging real-world case studies, the training will provide learners an opportunity to critically analyze specific school-based scenarios and apply best practices to control spread of the virus.
In this training, you will learn:
- Apply the PrISCM framework (Prevent, Identify, Define the Scope, Control, Monitor) to a school based outbreak
- Identify strategies for outbreak reporting in the absence of mandatory case reporting
- Recommend appropriate testing strategies for schools during an outbreak according to the severity of the outbreak and needs of the school population
