🦠 COVID-19

Before the Hackathon

Vaccination Requirements

Resources

Rapid tests will be available on-request for those feeling unwell and hand sanitizer will be located throughout the venue.

Masks are not required at the venue, but single-use masks will be available for anyone who wishes to wear one.

Self-report Response

If an attendee or organizer begins to show symptoms and/or has a positive test, they must isolate and leave the event. They are responsible for coordinating housing and rebooking travel if needed.

We will send a notification email to attendees with exposure details if there is a positive test.

After the Hackathon

Reporting Post-event Positive Tests

If an attendee or organizer has a positive test within 7 days of the event, they should report the possible exposure to self-report link made available after the event.

To ensure attendees and organizers remember to self-report after the event, a scheduled text message will be sent with the self-report link.

We will have a gender-seperated & adult-supervised space for sleeping within the venue. Supervising adults will be available to respond to any situations that arise.

At all times, there will be at least two adults and ten members of the Epoch student team on site. All adult staff members will have the necessary background checks.
