How instructors are meeting these accommodations:

• Testing in a separate room: Many instructors will either find a classroom close by that is vacant or schedule a time before or after the class takes the test for the student to meet with the instructor and test.* 

These suggestions are what other faculty are doing, feel free to meet the required accommodations as you see appropriate.
