ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK, WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT RELATING TO CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SAR-CoV-2 (“coronavirus”), causes the illness COVID-19 which has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely dangerous and the coronavirus is extremely contagious and believed to be spread from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state and local governments and health agencies recommend established guidelines to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus.

These include requiring social distancing and, in many locations, prohibiting the congregation of large groups of people. These guidelines are for the safety of the public and should be followed. Notwithstanding recommendations and guidelines by these entities, it must be understood that the coronavirus and COVID-19 are continuing threats to the health and lives of the citizens of Hawai‘i.

Malama Maunalua as well as their respective affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors, trustees, subcontractors, and partners have put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, it is understood that Malama Maunalua and affiliated organizations cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not come into contact with or become infected by the coronavirus. Your mere physical presence at activities of Malama Maunalua and affiliated organizations could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of becoming infected by the coronavirus and developing COVID-19.

By initialling this agreement, I (Parent/Guardian),

Notwithstanding the risk of infection, my minor child(ren) and I wish to voluntarily participate in activities offered by Malama Maunalua as well as their affiliated organizations.
