Winter Programs
As we slowly get back to normal following the measures
taken to address the threat from COVID-19, we believe it is important for you to
understand and acknowledge the following. An
inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people
are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe
illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
senior citizens and individuals with underlying medical conditions are
especially vulnerable. By having you or your child participate in the activities of the
Reading Recreation Commission, you and your child are hereby acknowledging and
assuming all risks related to exposure to COIVD-19, including the risk that your
or your
child will become a carrier of COVID-19 and expose others as a result.
