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 agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. NEW Fusion Dance & Performing Arts has put in to place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. By signing this agreement, I 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 NEW Fusion Dance & Performing Arts 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 NEW Fusion Dance & Performing Arts may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, NEW Fusion Dance & Performing Arts employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families.
