Keeping everybody safe
As COVID-19 spreads throughout the Northeast, it's inevitable that Maine will see cases soon.
We're monitoring the situation carefully and paying close attention to CDC and World Health Organization recommendations.
Your safety is our top priority -- and the last thing we want is to negatively impact members of our community who are at-risk because we selfishly wanted to dance together!
So, here's what you should know:
We will make decisions regarding future dances thoughtfully and will keep all of you informed. AND, we strongly urge you to take the following precautions when attending a dance:
STAY HOME if you're sick or have been sick in the last week.
STAY HOME if you've been on a cruise or in a location with ongoing community spread in the past 14 days (Italy, China, Iran, South Korea, Washington State, California, New York). If you're in MA and NH where a few cases have been found, consider not traveling to us.
If you're immunocompromised or otherwise at higher risk of contracting the disease, please consult with your doctor and make the best decision for you. People with chronic medical conditions and older adults are at higher risk. Consider staying home for your own safety.
WASH YOUR HANDS before the dance, often during the event, and after the event. We'll have the kitchen open for hand washing. Use hand sanitizer (available at the top and bottom of the hall) throughout the evening.
Cough and sneeze into the crook of your elbow or into a tissue you immediately discard. Wash your hands after coughing or sneezing.
Don’t touch your face. If you need to touch your face, use a tissue and throw it away immediately.
Sanitize your phone, devices, water bottle, etc. that you use at the event before and after the event.
Again, we'll be monitoring and making decisions regarding events ongoing. We'll keep you informed.
Thank you for your support keeping everyone safe and healthy!
