COVID-19 Updates

Updated March 25, 2024

We follow the latest CDC guidance (from March 2024):

https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/guidance/respiratory-virus-guidance.html
Please refer to the CDC website or your doctor for further guidance as needed.

 

The guidance below pertains only for participation in all activities at the Weaving Center’s Hartford and Manchester locations.
 

1. If you don’t feel well for any reason (COVID or not), please stay home until you feel better.

 

2. The CDC now says people who have Covid-19 should stay home until they’ve been fever-free without medication for at least 24 hours and their symptoms have been improving for 24 hours. After that, it’s fine to resume regular activities, agency experts say. But they recommend that people take additional precautions for the next five days — including improving ventilation, masking and limiting close contact with others — to lower the risk of spreading the virus.

Upon entering our facility, you knowingly and freely assume all such risks related to illness and infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.
