WHAT COVID-19 MEASURES WILL BE IN PLACE DURING THE PROJECT?
The health and safety of our team and you, our visitors, is our top priority. Creative Time is following the recommendations and guidelines of health experts, as well as the relevant city, state, and federal agencies, and has put a few processes in place for your visit.
– If you are sick, or have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, stay home.
– In accordance with CDC guidelines, we require that all attendees over 5 years of age provide proof of vaccination (with identification for guests over 18).
– To protect each other, our team will be wearing masks and we require attendees to do the same. If you arrive without a mask, our staff can provide you with one to wear.
Please know that COVID-19 protocols are a part of our Community Guidelines that have been developed to help us gather in care. You will be asked to leave if you refuse to work with our team to keep everyone safe.
COVID-19 safety measures and requirements may be updated or changed based on current guidance at the time of the event.
