Welcome to our Safety Protocol Page!

 

​

 

On the left we have the essential requirements of our volunteers listed.

 

​

 

Below we will have our complete procedure, which we have consulted Public Health experts and Emergency Medicine Practitioners about. 

 

​

 

1. WASH HANDS FOR MORE THAN 20 SECONDS before leaving home. 

 

​

 

2. Wear gloves and masks(if available). If masks are not available, a bandana or scarf will work as a rudimentary substitute. the Wellesley Coronavirus Student Organization can provide latex gloves to our volunteers.

 

​

 

3. Practice social distance regulation and rules (see CDC or mass.gov). Overall, volunteers should limit social interactions.

 

​

 

4. Sanitize all boxed items and items in bags with wet wipes/surface cleaning supplies before delivering items to customers.

 

​

 

5. Online transactions (PayPal/Venmo) between customer and volunteer are highly recommended. Cash or check transactions when necessary must be put in a sealed and sanitized envelope and stored in a location for volunteers to pick up after dropping off groceries. 

 

​

 

6. Volunteers must leave grocery orders at the door for their customers in order to limit social distancing. 

 

​

 

7. We recommend that volunteers shower after each delivery (to limit the risk of our volunteers falling ill) as is reasonable per day.

 

​

 

8. Sick or exposed volunteers must hold themselves accountable and STAY HOME. If this happens immediately email wellesleystudentcoronavirus@gmail.com 

 

​

 

For all, according to the New York Times, SOAP IS MORE  EFFECTIVE than HANDSANITIZER against Covid-19, so wash hands often, and use handsanitizer sparingly.
