RELATING TO CORONA VIRUS/COVID-19 - The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. The virus that causes COVID-19 is spread primarily by close contact between people and through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also be spread through contact with contaminated surfaces. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. I, the Parent/Guardian, individually and on behalf of my child(ren), acknowledge and understand: - The contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participation in My Nature Lab (MNL) programs and activities; and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, or death.
- The risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at MNL may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, MNL staff members, other program participants, and their families.
