COVID-19: The VJCC cannot guarantee, warrant, or protect you and/or your Child from contracting the COVID-19 infection or related illness through participating in VJCC activity/program offerings. Moreover, it is possible for you and/or your Child who participates in VJCC activity/program offerings to potentially infect others, including family members, who may be at high risk for severe illness due to COVID-19. Additionally, there may be risks that cannot be determined until more information is known about the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and COVID-19. I/We understand that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 is highly infectious, and thought to spread mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes or by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and that persons infected with COVID-19 may spread the virus when they are not showing any symptoms, which makes it more difficult to control the spread of COVID-19. I/we also understand that participating in VJCC activity/program offerings may increase participant’s risk of exposure to COVID-19 and my and/or my Child’s risk of contracting COVID-19 and transmitting COVID-19 to family members and others. I/we further understand that COVID-19 is associated with a serious and potentially deadly condition called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). A link to current CDC information regarding COVID-19 can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html. A link to local Los Angeles County health information about COVID-19 can be found here: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/acd/ncorona2019/. It is my responsibility to review this information and determine the risks for me and/or my Child. I understand that there is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19, and public health officials from the CDC, the state of California, and Los Angeles County maintain that the best way to prevent contracting COVID-19 is by avoiding exposure to the virus, including by maintaining a physical distance of at least six (6) feet from others, and avoiding gathering in groups. I also understand that participating in VJCC activity/program offerings, I/we and/or my Child may be gathering in a group and may be unable to maintain a physical distance of at least six (6) feet from others at all times. I/WE HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT, WAIVER, AND RELEASE AND FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS. I/WE AM/ARE AWARE THAT THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND I/WE SIGN IT OF MY/OUR FREE WILL.
