No participant should be asked to participate in any manner that makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Please remember that even if you feel safe, we have 4-H’ers who have conditions that could put them at higher risk or have family members that they are in contact with that could be at higher risk. We need to provide a safe environment for everyone.
- You must clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that are frequently touched.
- Maintain a 6-foot distance with others. Space seating at least 6-feet apart.
- Follow local mandates
- Provide access to hand-washing stations with soap or hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol. Check with CDC recalls on Hand Sanitizer.
- Limit the amount of time that participants are close to one another and leaders.
- Discourage hugs, handshakes, etc.
