For anyone still following the original intent of this post:
Gating criteria is what has dictated our Z to stop training. Apparently, headquarters directive. This gating criteria indicates that if you are in a county that is labeled orange (
Risk Levels - Global Epidemics) and your facility has (insert mysterious elusive number that no one in the facility can tell me) XX amount of cases, training that cannot take place in a social distanced environment is suspended. If the trainee isn't wearing a mask, it is assumed they are vaccinated and their training can continue. If a trainee has continued to wear a mask, then it is assumed they are unvaccinated and their training will be suspended.
Lastly, this only applies to training. If a trainee is certified on a position, they can continue to work that position. Sitting directly beside their co-workers/trainers. No social distancing required.
After thought.
I was told Houston, Atlanta, and some other Z had already suspended training. Anyone else seeing this? According to the heat map, anything south of the Mason Dixon line should have already suspended all forms of training due to their red risk level as determined by some prick at Harvard.
