During the pandemic, some resuscitation councils and local health authorities are advising against teaching CPR courses due to possible transmission of the COVID-19 virus. There is, however, opportunity for Teaching status Emergency First Response® Instructors to deliver the EFR® Primary Care, Secondary Care, and Primary and Secondary Care Online Refresher courses to Emergency Responders wishing to refresh their knowledge and skills as mentioned above. Please refer to 9 April 2020 Training News for instructions on how to deliver the refresher course remotely.
