While businesses are slowly beginning to re-open, the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to be with us for quite awhile. The Sonoma County public health order requires wearing a face covering of some sort when in a public building or outdoors when you can’t maintain social distance of six feet. If you’re all alone, that may seem unnecessary – but what happens when you do come upon someone? One suggestion is to wear a Buff or bandanna around your neck, pulling it up over your mouth and nose when needed. (You can order one of our stylish logoed bandannas here!)
The Public Health Officer has released new guidelines pertaining to outdoor recreational activities. As we gear up to re-start our workshops, clinics, and rides, we have been revising our policies and procedures in order to comply with these guidelines and keep everyone safe. All of these events will require pre-registration so that we can control the number of participants and maintain records for contact tracing in the event someone does become infected.
Check out our SCBC COVID-19 Policy for Rides and Clinics and our updated Liability Waiver. (Thanks to SRCC for doing so much legwork on this!)
