• For this guidance, “face masks” includes cloth face coverings that cover the mouth and nose. Face masks must not have an exhalation valve.
• Masks must be worn at all times indoors, even when children are not present.
• Masks required by all adults entering the space, even if fully vaccinated.
• All children over 24 months of age must wear masks indoors.

• HEPA filters and new fans have been installed in both studios in order to improve ventilation.
• Both doors (front and back) will remain open during class times unless AQI is at an unhealthy level.
• Fans will be adjusted so as not to blow air from one person’s space to another person’s space.

The SFYBA Dropoff entrance is in the back of the building (parking lot)

• Instructor will greet the students at the back door at the start of each class.
• Do not enter the building until your instructor arrives at the door.
• Students will be given hand sanitizer as they enter the building.
• Parents/Guardians are asked to wait outside the SFYBA building. Only students & staff members are allowed inside. The lobby is closed to parents/guardians until further notice except in the case of an emergency.
• Please arrive ON TIME or risk not being admitted.
• Please wear a mask during dropoff.

The Pickup exit will be in the front of the building (Vicente Street).

• Please arrive ON TIME for pick up
• Please wear a mask during pickup.

If SFYBA students or staff experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, even mild symptoms, they MUST not enter the building. Please do an assessment of how you/your child are feeling before arriving for class.

COVID-19 Symptoms:

• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea

Wash hands regularly while at the studios. Hand sanitizer will be available through the building and is required upon entry.

Although contaminated surfaces are no longer thought to be a significant route of transmission, SFYBA will continue to enforce its enhanced cleaning procedures.

• Barres & other frequently touched surfaces will be cleaned before/after every class.
• Floors will be cleaned regularly after the last class of the day.

CDPH recommends additional disinfection only after a confirmed COVID-19 case, and only in areas where the person with COVID-19 spent a large proportion of their time (classroom, or an administrator’s office) within the last 24 hours.

• If more than 24 hours have passed since the person who is sick or diagnosed with COVID- 19 has been in the space, cleaning is enough.
• If more than 3 days have passed since the person who is sick or diagnosed with COVID-19 has been in the space, no additional cleaning is needed.

Cohorting is no longer required, given low levels of COVID-19 and high vaccination rates at this time.

• SFYBA staff may work with more than one group/level/class.
• Students may participate in more than one group/level/class each day.
• Classes can add new students at any time.
• Students are permitted to do makeup classes with a different class of their level.

• Classes will be limited to 8-15 students (depending on class level and room assignment).
• Staff must record daily attendance for each class, to help determine who may be a close contact if someone in the class tests positive for COVID-19.
• To reduce the number of people who may need to quarantine, SFYBA will track who is within 6 feet of others each day by assigning spots at the barre and in center.

• Staff who become ill at work must notify their supervisor and leave work as soon as they can.
• Ill children and youth will be sent home. Children who are waiting to be picked up will be kept in a designated isolation space with their face masks on. Please be sure the SFYBA staff has the child’s most updated emergency contact info on file!
• Upon pickup, parents/guardians must meet the student outside and will not be permitted to enter the building. (The parent may also have COVID-19, since children are most often infected by an unvaccinated adult in their home.)

Situations where closing SFYBA may be recommend may include the following:

• 25% or more of the program’s groups have had outbreaks in the last 14 days.
• At least three outbreaks have occurred in the last 14 days AND more than 5% of the staff and children are infected.
• Investigation of an outbreak by SFDPH suggests ongoing COVID-19 transmission in the program. Closures are generally for 10-14 days and are meant to prevent further transmission within the program, and to better understand how transmission occurred, in order to prevent repeat outbreaks.
