Health Advisory Committee (HAC) Recommendations for Lughnasadh: The HAC has met three times to mull over public health recommendations for outdoor public gatherings - the campaign to vaccinate all who want it kept the recommendations in constant evolution. The HAC's primary goal is to keep our first in-person event from being a super-spreader one! With the May 2021 announcement by the CDC that vaccinated humans no longer need to wear masks in most settings, and the lifting of the public health emergency in several surrounding states, here are the final infection risk reduction recommendations for Lugh by the HAC: 1. This will be a 'mixed' gathering of vaccinated and unvaccinated humans: only those who have not been vaccinated will be asked to wear masks when they are generally out and about from their campsites. 2. Events be will designated as 'close' or 'distance-able': close will require masks for all, distance-able will required unvaccinated folx to mask up. 3. Stop, ask, come here!: colored bands will be available for broadcasting where you stand with close contact; red for maintain a distance of 6 feet please, yellow for please ask me first, green for coming in for a hug! 4. Let's remove any stigma for status: while the SCC supports vaccination, we are all on our own journeys, particularly where our bodies are concerned. If you want to ask someone what their vaccination status is, please do. We encourage honesty in a judgement-free zone, if you are unvaccinated please be honest if asked. Everyone has the right to make an informed decision about personal risk. If you are un-vaxxed, please follow the CDC recommendations and for your health and safety please wear a mask when you are outside of your private space. |

June 25th is the last day to get your 'Two and Two' (two weeks after the second vaccine dose) prior to July 30th, but it's never too late to vaccinate against COVID-19! After all, there's the Stone Family Gathering to think of!!! Do a good thing, in a safe way. |
