SAME continues to monitor the changing landscape involving the CDC guidelines regarding COVID-19 safety protocols. As guidelines change, we want to create an environment that ensures the wellbeing of our members and participants.
To safely accommodate SAME event participants, as of April 15, 2022, the following guidelines and operations are in place for in-person events. Guidelines may change over time. All participants are required to follow the guidelines in place at the time of the event, regardless of notification or date established, and by signing up to participate in an SAME event, you agree you understand and agree to abide by these guidelines as well as the SAME Code of Conduct.
- Participants must follow all local guidelines in place during the event. That means those set by local and state governments and the facilities being used.
- All participants must follow all guidelines while traveling. That means those set by transportation carriers, airports, and other transportation facilities being used.
- Those who have tested positive for COVID-19, are waiting for COVID-19 test results, have COVID-19 symptoms, or are otherwise ill, should not attend.
- All participants should follow everyday preventative actions to help prevent the spread of germs such as washing hands often or using sanitizer. Hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout the event and venue.
- There will be enhanced sanitation throughout the course of the event, with a focus on “high-touch areas” such as door handles, restrooms, and food and beverage areas.
- Physical distancing, activity limits, and crowd density controls are currently not required.
- Should we need to implement these measures, this will be first managed by methods such as using limited, staggered, or rotating shifts and attendance times.
SAME will continue to evaluate what is best to ensure we meet safely and abide by the requirements that are in-place. We will continue to update policies, procedures, and protocols as we get closer to the event.
SAME has the right to update this policy at any time at its sole discretion and will follow all applicable federal, state, local, and Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines and requirements.
Blue Springs, Missouri is located in Jackson County. The Jackson County COVID-19 website can be found here: https://www.jacksongov.org/Residents/Health-Services/COVID-19-Information
