Women’s Foundation California Retreat
FEBRUARY 2025
COVID Safety
-
This event will be held in both indoor and open-air spaces. For the safety of everyone, we ask that all guests have updated COVID-19 vaccinations and everyone, regardless of vaccination status, take an at-home COVID-19 test 2-3 days prior to beginning travel and report test results by completing a questionnaire. We also ask that all attendees test and report their results prior to gathering at an in-person event. Please DO NOT attend if results are positive, even if asymptomatic.
- For those that might have difficulty procuring a test, we will have tests available on-site, however we prefer that testing be completed before arrival to ensure everyone’s safety.
-
For events where we are together for multiple days, we request attendees to test each day before gathering in person and submit their results by completing this questionnaire.
- For those traveling by plane or other modes of public transportation, we ask that you wear an N95 mask while traveling in public places.
- Masks are always welcome at in-person events. While they are not required, there are recommended. We will have masks available for those who wish to wear a mask while gathering in person.
- If any attendee develops symptoms or tests positive soon after attending the event, please get in contact with Kanitra Lopez ASAP: kanitral@womensfoundca.org, 916-583-3193
