COVID-19, visiting patients or staying in the same close environment of a COVID19 patient). - Working together in close proximity or sharing the same classroom environment
with a with COVID-19 patient - Traveling together with COVID-19 patient in any kind of conveyance
- Living in the same household as a COVID-19 patient
