How We Are Addressing Concerns

We’ve increased our sanitization measures to keep you and your peers safe and comfortable during your visit to our facilities. The Spear Campus includes areas for live patient treatment, hands-on workshops and food service during our events, so we’ve always maintained a high standard of infection control (e.g. tissues, hand sanitizers, disinfectant wipes throughout the facility). But in addition to our exhaustive daily sanitization of facilities with peroxide-based cleaning agents, we’ve now increased the frequency of cleanings (including doorknobs, countertops, etc.) before and after campus events and started administering additional cleaning agents via electrostatic sprayers to specifically address COVID-19.

Meanwhile, Spear will continue to follow recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and take the necessary actions to ensure the safety of our employees, visitors and clients. We look forward to seeing you on campus as we remain focused on the health and well-being of the Spear community.

What’s Next?

As things develop, please check back here for updates. We will continue to monitor the situation and inform you and our community as things develop.
