UVCB Covid Policies
CDC continues to grade risk of Covid transmission in our surrounding counties as “Low.” However, we all know of current Covid cases among our acquaintances, and the current variant is highly transmissible.
Proof of vaccination against Covid (i.e., basic series plus booster unless unable to do so by virtue of timing) continues to be required to participate in any in-person UVCB event. Members may demonstrate proof by emailing a copy of the CDC card to mark.nunlist@dartmouth.edu or texting that image to him at 603-448-7901. At the Board’s direction, Mark Nunlist continues to maintain a confidential record of members’ vaccination status.
There will be occasions when a UVCB member tests Covid-positive. When this occurs or the Band member believes he or she has been exposed to a Covid-positive individual elsewhere, we ask that the individual notify Mark Nelson and Mark Nunlist. We can then inform other Band members who might have been exposed themselves by virtue of proximity, enabling them to test / monitor themselves.
A member who tests Covid-positive is welcome to return to in-person UVCB events following completion of the recommended five-day isolation period plus a further five days of mask-wearing around other people and has obtained a negative Covid antigen test (e.g., an “at-home” Covid test). Band members occasionally announce that they plan to miss an upcoming rehearsal because they don’t feel well. We applaud that concern for one another. Please excuse yourself if you have any symptoms of illness, regardless of any test result, and seek medical care and / or covid testing as appropriate.
Of course, the individual’s own healthcare is of paramount importance, and we encourage members to seek - and be guided by - appropriate medical advice.
Thank you all and stay well,
Mark Nunlist
