Duty to Self-Monitor and Care for Others

In line with SCG's values of equity and community, we respectfully ask attendees to prioritize the collective health and wellbeing of all participants when making a decision to attend SCG events. We ask that you not attend if you become ill or exhibit any signs or symptoms of COVID-19. SCG reserves the right to refuse entry to any participants who exhibit symptoms of illness. We strongly encourage attendees to self-administer a rapid test the morning of the event, and encourage mask-wearing for any attendees for whom that is most comfortable. Out of respect for each individual's varying comfort level, please refrain from hugs or handshakes without explicit consent. We will strive to safeguard the health and safety of all those involved in SCG events, but cannot guarantee that attendees and participants will not be exposed to, or become sick from exposure to, COVID-19 or its variants. We thank you for your help keeping our community safe.
