ST LOUIS, MO – March 24, 2020 – As concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus increase, we’re reaching out with a brief update to let you know how The Academy of Pet Careers is planning and preparing to keep our students and employees safe.
We are keeping up to date on current news and are in contact with local health officials on the subject. Per their advice, it is our current plan to continue classes so long as everyone is in good health. If any student or employee at the APC or Petropolis show symptoms consistent with the Coronavirus, they will be asked to stay home until properly diagnosed by a doctor. At this point leadership will assess the situation and make a timely decision on whether or not to shut down classes for a period.
