COVID-19 Protocol

As COVID-19 continues to impact our communities — and because there may be immunocompromised and medically vulnerable people in attendance at Disability Lead events — we ask for your partnership in creating and maintaining a safer environment for all. It is our collective responsibility to follow the below guidance and we appreciate your cooperation in advance. Staff will not be able to enforce these protocols so please keep yourself accountable.

Masking: While masks are not required at Disability Lead events, we welcome and encourage their use, especially in indoor spaces, as an added layer of protection. Masks, including clear masks, will be available at all events.

Health & Attendance: Within 10 days of the event,  if you have tested positive and continue to test positive for COVID-19, are waiting for test results, have symptoms, feel sick or unwell, or have had close contact with someone who has tested positive or is ill, please do not attend.

Vaccinations & Testing: Guests are strongly encouraged to be up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations as advised by your medical professionals. If you are medically exempt, please take a COVID-19 antigen test within 24 hours of attending and only join us if your test result is negative.

‍Together, we can help make our gatherings safer and more inclusive for everyone
