SALTED ROOTS COVID SAFETY PROTOCOL

Please know that while Salted Roots is making every effort to implement protocols that minimize the risk of transmission, our team cannot guarantee that COVID-19 will not be present during the program. Below is an updated list of COVID-19 Safety protocols and processes that Salted Roots has made to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. COVID safety is a disability justice issue and a matter of community care. 

The health and safety of our community and staff remain our highest priority. Salted Roots will implement the following program safety procedures and practices to reduce the spread of COVID-19:

• 24 hours before the program day, including the day of, participants and volunteers are to be COVID-19 symptom-free. If you or someone in your household has symptoms, please stay home.
• N95 masks must be worn at all times in Salted Roots carpool - eating /drinking is not permitted in the van to reduce the need to remove masks.
  Enhanced personal hygiene (i.e. handwashing, hand sanitizing, no touching face reminders, etc.) will be practiced throughout the program.
• Salted Roots staff and volunteer surf instructors will be required to have symptom checks, and these will be conducted regularly.
• At Salted Roots events that are indoors we encourage that all participants wear their masks while not eating/drinking to reduce the risk of transmission.
• We ask that you help us protect the health of our Salted Roots community. Anyone who is sick or was sick with COVID-19 in the last  10 days, who exhibited symptoms of COVID-19 in the last 10 days, or who was recently in contact with someone with COVID-19 in the last 10 days— including staff, volunteers, and families— CANNOT attend the program without a negative COVID-19 test.
