Vita-Learn Duty of Care for Vermont Fest 2023
COVID-19 Readiness: Keeping You Safe & Healthy at the Vermont Fest Conference
The leadership at Vita-Learn has developed the following Duty of Care for their Vermont Fest conference which will help keep you safe when attending the event in person in Killington, VT.
As of June 13, 2023
Vita-Learn’s concern for your health and safety is our top priority, and we want to make your experience at the meeting positive, and as professionally successful as in pre-COVID days. Vita-Learn has been monitoring statewide and local transmission rates and requirements, and at this time have established the following guidelines for Vermont Fest 2023. These guidelines are subject to change based on current conditions and/or if new guidance is issued on, before, or during the conference by the State of Vermont, the Town of Killington, VT, or the CDC.
Guidelines:
- Vita-Learn is not planning to require proof of vaccination status or negative COVID test results at the Dynamic Landscapes 2023. Additionally, masks will be optional but encouraged at the event.
- Vita-Learn continues to encourage all participants to follow CDC and state of Vermont recommended precautions including completing a full course of vaccinations (when possible), and wearing masks indoors, especially in large gatherings.
- If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive for COVID-19 within 10 days of the event, you may not attend the conference.
- If you may have been exposed to a confirmed coronavirus case 10 days or less prior to the Event, you may not attend the Event unless you provide a negative PCR test taken within 3 days of check-in or or 3 rapid antigen tests taken 48 hours apart of each other in advance of the event.
- Attendees should self-monitor their health. If you begin to feel unwell during the conference with symptoms consistent with COVID-19, out of an abundance of caution, we ask that you notify Jeff Mao and seek medical attention. If you test positive for COVID-19, please notify Jeff Mao so that the conference can follow up with all other attendees so that they may make their own informed decisions related to their own health and precautionary measures. Remember that our attendees come from all over Vermont and the nation, and they may be in regular close contact with individuals with higher risk factors.
- Hand sanitizer and masks will be available at at the registration desk.
- Vita-Learn will continue to monitor statewide and local COVID transmission rates and requirements and will modify this guidance if needed.
- Social distancing will be adhered to, when possible, in meeting spaces and in meal spaces.
