By checking here, I understand that the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. I further understand that COVID-19 is contagious and is believed to spread by person-to-person contact; and, as a result, federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing. I recognize that are closely monitoring this situation and have put in place reasonable preventative measures aimed to reduce the spread of COVID-19. I hereby acknowledge and assume the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 through my participation in club activities on and off water. I understand that, if I have a COVID-19 infection, and even if I do not have any symptoms for the same, proceeding with club activities can lead to a higher chance of complication and spread of the infection to those around me, including family and friends. I understand that possible exposure to COVID-19 may result in the following: a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, extended quarantine/self-isolation, additional tests, and I may need additional care that may require me to go to an emergency room or a hospital. I understand all the potential risks, including but not limited to the potential short-term and long-term complications related to COVID-19, and I would like to proceed with participation in athletic competition.
