10		The COVID virus transmits primarily through aerosols in the air. CSPs should reduce exposure to aerosols. While it remains important to maintain clean facilities, extreme efforts to clean surfaces (such as spraying playground equipment between uses) is unlikely to significantly impact transmission rates. Another CSP that may not yield benefit in relation to its cost is using plexiglass, or other, dividers.

13		1) Place an X in the current or enhanced columns to indicate if a CSP is currently implemented or will be an additional CSP added with increased case counts
14		2) The first 18 CSPs in green are requirements and should be identified as current CSPs; not all white CSPs will be checked as current or additional CSPs. (No longer applicable in schoolyear 2022/23)
15		3) At least one CSP from CSPs 29-31 (in red) must be selected as a current or additional CSP (No longer applicable in SY 2022/23)
