The COVID-19 Prevention Training Course (C19) was developed for the motion picture production workforce to provide general health and safety guidelines to help minimize the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19.

The C19 course takes less than an hour to complete and is optimized for delivery on smartphones and other mobile devices but may also be completed using a web browser on a desktop or laptop computer.

The C19 course covers the following topics:

• Recognizing the signs and symptoms of COVID-19
• PPE, with a focus on safe donning and doffing
• Hand washing, including proper techniques
• Environmental cleaning and disinfection, including high-touch wipe-downs
• Policies and procedures related to COVID-19 on set or in offices
• Preventing cross-contamination
• Protecting yourself at home
• Psychological impact of the pandemic
