Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

The Northeast Community Center (“NECC”) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the NECC cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending the NECC could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.

By signing this agreement, I acknowledge that I do not currently exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19, including but not limited to fever, diarrhea, and/or cough. I agree to refrain from visiting the NECC if I, anyone in my anyone in my family or household, or anyone I have been in close contact with (closer than 6’ for more than 15 minutes) has exhibited symptoms of COVID-19 or is confirmed to have contracted COVID-19 within 10 days prior to my visit. I also agree to immediately notify the NECC if I, anyone in my family or household, or anyone I have been in close contact with (closer than 6’ for more than 15 minutes) exhibits symptoms of COVID-19 or is confirmed to have contracted COVID-19 within 14 days of visiting the NECC.

I also acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending the NECC and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the NECC may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, NECC employees, contractors, volunteers, and program participants and their families.

I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance at the NECC or participation in NECC programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the NECC, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the NECC, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any NECC program.
