[Seuce-cci] Off-site placements and precautions

[Maya Clark]

The University System of Georgia provides us with the statement below. It's
the only guidance we have received from above, but as a program we will
look at each site individually.

*USG Guidelines for Student Experiences*
*Learning in the clinical environment may occur in a carefully monitored
and controlled manner. No student will be allowed contact with a suspected
or confirmed COVID-19 individual. Hypervigilance will be given to hygiene,
disinfection, universal precautions, and barrier techniques throughout the
learning experience.*
