GUIDANCE FROM CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH ON COVID-19

Before the event:

• Get vaccinated! (Getting vaccinated now will still give you some protection for the event weekend – though if you are not Fully Vaccinated, you will still need a negative test)
• Reminder from the FBI: If you make or buy a fake COVID-19 vaccination record card, you endanger yourself and those around you, and you are breaking the law

At the event:

• Wear a mask if you are unvaccinated
• Avoid physical contact with people outside of your party
• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, or with hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol
• Limit consumption of substances. Consuming alcohol or substances may make you less likely to follow COVID-19 safety measures
• Do not attend the event if you have symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea), even if you have been vaccinated
• Do not attend the event if you have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 5 days. People who have tested positive for COVID-19 and cannot attend the event; however, they can transfer their ticket to anyone else. All sales are final and there are no refunds.

After the event:

• Stay home and get tested if you develop any symptoms of COVID-19, even if you are fully vaccinated.
