With the basics having been covered during times of lower transmission (Baseline), limit training and information communication to specific behaviors and actions that your target audience should be considering at this time.
Beware overwhelming your audience with 1) information that is contested without providing supporting evidence to gain or maintain trust and credibility, 2) unnecessary details that don’t directly support the main point and 3) language that is too complex, fear driven or not easily understood.

Staff training in moderate community transmission levels should reinforce the basics and expectations from staff, as well as prepare staff for potential high community transmission periods.
Student, parent and community communication may emphasize the school’s preparedness and layered prevention as well as what they can expect in the case of increased or decreased community transmission rates.
