COVID Policies and Procedures
We ask you to read and follow our COVID Policy and Guidelines (updated May 2024). This policy applies to all events sponsored by CDS Boston Centre, including camps. Any additional requirements of the camp organization will be applicable as well.
Effective June 19, 2024, masking is welcome but optional. Masks will continue to be available at the registration desk for anyone who wishes to use one.
Although immunization and boosters are no longer required, we continue to urge all members to be fully vaccinated and receive the most recent Covid boosters. Full immunization predictably leads to less severe illness and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization and death.
For all CDSBC events: As a safety measure for your fellow dancers, if you have had any exposure to someone with known Covid in the past week, please take a Covid test before coming. If someone in your household currently has Covid, or if you are experiencing any symptoms of possible Covid, we will miss you but please stay home.
What should I do if I test positive for Covid within 5 days of the dance?
For ACE, Wednesdays, and special events (Fall Favorites, Holiday Gala, Playford Ball): CDS Boston has set up a reporting system for any dancer who tests positive for Covid after attending a dance. If you test positive for Covid within 5 days of the dance, please send an email to covid-report [at] cds-boston [dot] org to inform the dance organizers.
Please do this as soon as you learn of the positive test. It is important that you put a title in the email and a short statement stating when you had the positive test. An email will be sent to everyone who attended this dance. No information which might identify you will be included in this email.
For Harvard Square: After each Harvard Square dance you attend, you will get an email reminding you to notify us (roger [at] cds-boston [dot] org) if you test positive for Covid within 5 days of the event.
