Proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test result is not required. Face masks are optional but welcomed for those at increased risk of illness or those for whom masking increases comfort and peace of mind. Finally, we ask all our guests to use their best judgment about their own health before entering our space. If you or someone in your household are ill, please help us ensure the health and safety of others by staying home. We offer hybrid attendance options for many Partnership events. Procedures If a Guest is Diagnosed with COVID-19 If a participant or guest is diagnosed with COVID-19 within 5 days before a Partnership program or activity, the participant must immediately notify the Partnership’s point of contact. Upon notification, the event or program coordinator will verify with the participant/guest when they first tested positive and how long they have been quarantining. If the participant/guest is symptomatic, they should not attend the session in person. If the participant is no longer symptomatic, they are required to show proof of a negative tests taken within 72 hours of the event in order to attend the event in person. If a participant or guest is diagnosed with COVID-19 during or within 5 days following a Partnership program or activity, the participant must immediately notify the Partnership’s point of contact. Upon notification, the event or program coordinator will inform the Partnership’s Operations team that a participant has tested positive. The Partnership’s VP for HR or designee will speak directly with the participant/guest to identify who they interacted closely with during the session. For cohort-based programs, the Partnership considers the entire cohort to be close contact given the nature and proximity of cohort-based activities. The Partnership will communicate directly with others who have been identified as being in close contact that they may have been exposed and will encourage them to be tested. Throughout the entire communication process, the name of the individual who tested positive will remain confidential. Federal employees should also follow their agencies’ COVID-19 guidance.
