Health and Safety Friendly Reminder

Posted October 30, 2023

Respiratory illness season is in full swing during Kumoricon, so please be considerate to those around you. Face masks, social distancing, and frequent hand sanitizing are encouraged! The more precautions you choose, the more resistant you will be to any assortment of illness going around, including the good ol' "con crud" some of us have experienced in the wake of a convention. No precaution will be mandatorily enforced, but we would like you to be empowered to choose your level of health safety. Please respect others who choose to wear masks or ask for distance. Likewise, please respect a person's choice to not mask and people who are fine with being in closer proximity to others. One additional but optional precaution, specifically concerning COVID-19, is testing yourself. We understand that it's not the easiest to acquire, but fortunately right now the US government has issued free resources such that anyone with a mailing address can acquire COVID-19 tests.

At any point during or within a week after attending Kumoricon, if you find you tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you fill out an anonymous contact tracing form so that we can inform everyone of potential cases and allow each of us to take appropriate measures if needed.

Lastly, if you are extremely sick with anything, please consider staying home to protect everyone as well as to better care for yourself.

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at Kumoricon!
