What is your COVID 19 Response Plan?

You will be notified of any changes and any additional requirements for compliance.

• Encourage Face Coverings and 6’ Social Distancing (but not required) at all events.
• Regular body temperature scans performed to ensure wellness.
• Food to be prepared and distributed by 3rd party vendors (with no shared food) and served either as a complete meal or with individual packaging under Davis County Health Department Guidelines.
• Sanitary processes will be implemented throughout assigned rooms at the facility (soap, hand sanitizer, single-use gloves, doors propped open when feasible etc.)
• Attendees that have traveled outside of the US within the past 21days will need to have a negative COVID-19 Test prior to attending the workshop.
• No visitors will be allowed at the workshop (including parents or friends) except those previously approved to do so by YU management.
