Important COVID-19 Information
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Some variants of the virus can cause severe symptoms including acute respiratory issues, severe damage to lungs and other organs, and even death. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person, and individuals over age 65 and people of any age who have certain underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Understanding of the symptoms, risks, and spread of the disease may change over time, especially if new variants arise.
COVID-19 Liability Waiver/Assumption of Risk
Although ACSF has selected a venue where reasonable safety precautions will be taken to protect the health of participants, ACSF cannot guarantee that participants will not be exposed to COVID-19 during attendance at the event.
All participants acknowledge (1) that participation in this ACSF Safety Symposium and the group activities is completely voluntary, (2) there are inherent risks of exposure to COVID-19 while traveling or participating in group events such as this, and (3) that, for themselves (and for their heirs and assigns) they assume all risks associated with COVID-19 in connection with their attendance and participation, including risks to their own health and the health of others with whom they may come in contact in connection with the ACSF Safety Symposium.
