During didactic lessons, students will be separated for their comfort level.  Group sizes are smaller to support this. However, where the appropriate assessment of patients requires physically touching a patient, there is always the potential of risk in doing so. We are requesting students take additional precautions by following any CDC guidelines in place during the course. We also require personal protective equipment (PPE) be worn as we would when working on real patients. Students (as patients and rescuers) MUST wear gloves and we recommend wearing a face mask during ANY hands-on work. With these additional requirements, we are working to reduce the risks that are present. In taking the training, you understand the associated risks are similar to coming across a patient in the backcountry. Brown County Bikes cannot prevent you or your child(ren) from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while participating in our events. It is not possible to prevent against the presence of the disease. Therefore, if you choose to participate in Brown County Bikes services you may be exposing yourself to and/or increasing your risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. Students MUST be asymptomatic of any flu-like or COVID-19 symptoms in order to participate in the course. Students should not attend the course if they have been in contact with someone that has tested positive for COVID-19. Looking for a place to stay?
