Appropriate COVID-19 safety protocols will be followed and required by SRNA.
Compliance with COVID-19 safety protocols for all event participants will be mandatory. As the situation continues to change, SRNA will review current public health guidelines, and seek input from our medical and scientific council members, and may update safety measures accordingly. SRNA reserves the right to request event attendees adhere to these measures. All event registrants will be notified of updates or changes. Detailed guidance will be provided leading up to all SRNA events.
Vaccination Requirement
As of February 2022, SRNA’s Board of Directors has created a mandatory vaccination policy for indoor events that include 10 or more people. It is a requirement that for all SRNA-sponsored events that include 10 or more individuals gathering indoors that evidence of up-to-date COVID vaccination (as defined by CDC guidelines) be provided.
For outdoor events or indoor gatherings of less than 10 individuals, vaccinations are strongly recommended.
Outdoor Events
Vaccinations are not mandatory but are strongly recommended for outdoor events, and face coverings may be required. These guidelines are subject to change based on local municipal protocols, venue requirements, or event type.
Face Coverings and Physical Distancing
Face coverings that cover both the nose and mouth and physical distancing are recommended at SRNA events, regardless of vaccination status, and may be required. Exceptions to face coverings include while alone in a room with floor-to-ceiling walls and a closed-door or while eating or drinking for a limited time.
Testing Requirement
Event attendees may be required to complete a COVID-19 test prior to or upon arrival at an SRNA event, or during the event. Testing requirements will be shared with attendees in advance.
Reporting Requirement
All staff, volunteers, and attendees of SRNA-sponsored indoor events that include 10 or more individuals will be required to report their vaccination status and provide proof of vaccination (including booster doses) and COVID-19 test results (if applicable) to SRNA through a third-party portal.
Exceptions
If you cannot comply with vaccination requirements due to a disability or a sincerely held religious belief, you may be entitled to reasonable accommodation.
Please contact [email protected] to initiate a request for exemption or for any additional questions.
Cancellations
SRNA reserves the right to cancel events, notifying registrants accordingly, if it is deemed unsafe to gather in-person.
