RELEASE OF LIABILITY & INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person (within about 6 feet) or through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Current evidence suggests the novel coronavirus may remain active from hours to days on surfaces. Wearing masks, maintaining social distancing and ongoing cleaning/disinfection of surfaces is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings. Federal, state, and local governments and their respective federal and state health agencies, have issued guidance for reopening businesses, and as these regulatory agencies learn more about COVID-19, from time-to-time, may update their guidance. This includes the number of people that may congregate in one place, and the recommendation of maintaining a record of each person’s contacts.
SunWater Spa has established preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 based upon this guidance. For a list of those measures, please check our website.
SunWater Spa cannot guarantee you will not become infected with COVID-19 and attending SunWater Spa may increase your risk of contracting COVID-19, notwithstanding these preventative measures.
