There might be several reasons they may have been given such a warning.
Protect themselves, in case the person has Covid
Protect the person in need, have professional help deal with the situation
More likely this --- Protect the school from lawsuit - Good Samaritan lawsuits.
Protection Varies
Good Samaritan laws exist in both the U.S. and Canada, but the legislation isn’t uniform. Most laws don’t apply to medical professionals when they are on the job, but do offer some protection when they respond to an emergency off the clock. Many Good Samaritan laws, such as those in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware, cover anyone who attempts to help in an emergency, while others are specific to certain situations. For example, Alabama’s law only extends to trained rescuers and public education employees unless the emergency is cardiac arrest, at which point anyone can get involved. In Oklahoma, Good Samaritan protection only covers bystander emergency assistance related to CPR or controlling bleeding.
For example, a bystander in California who witnessed a car accident and pulled the victim from the vehicle out of concern that it would catch fire was later sued by the victim, who was left permanently paralyzed. The bystander won the lawsuit but the decision was later reversed by an appeals court that ruled she didn’t provide medical assistance. California has since changed its Good Samaritan law to include providing non-medical assistance at the scene of an emergency.
