Topic: Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) and COVID-19 for People with Disabilities
Description: CILT will be providing two sessions of the same workshop on IPAC education to empower people with disabilities in making informed choices about COVID-19, PPE use, and infection control measures. This will help people with disabilities to reduce their transmission risk so they can live more independently during the second wave of this pandemic. Both sessions cover the same content, so you are asked to choose one date.
When: Monday November 23, 2020, 1pm-300pm

This workshop will cover the following topics:
- Importance of Infection Control
