COVID INFORMATION
MASKS
Health experts are urging the public to opt for three-ply surgical masks, KF94, KN95 masks or N95 masks, which offer more protection against the highly contagious Omicron variant. Cloth masks will not be effective against this variant.
Mask Information: The Doc Posse recommends the Powecom KN95 masks in black.

We are hoping to have a supply of masks to distribute in mid-February to each Member (free of charge to you). If the delivery is delayed, Members are encouraged to purchase a KF94, KN95 or N95 mask to wear at all in person rehearsals until the other masks arrive. There will also be 3-layered masks available at rehearsals. Cloth masks, including your black singer’s mask, are not recommended.

Note: As you explore details, masks may be referred to as “face piece respirators.”
VACCINATIONS
Full vaccination and boosters, if eligible, will be required to attend in-person rehearsals. Please send a copy of your vaccination card, with booster information, to your Section Chair as soon as possible (see below). Or bring your vaccination card to your first in-person rehearsal.
MUSIC SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS (In addition to the Chorale requirements…):
- All Chorale members must complete a health and safety pledge form prior to our first rehearsal at the Music School. Answer the first question by clicking other and typing in “Concord Chorale.”
- The form may be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/health-safety-pledge-fall21. It takes less than two minutes to complete. Printed copies of the form are available at the CCMS desk.
- Before every rehearsal, please review the posted health screening questions and do not enter if you have new or unexplained COVID symptoms, have had close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 14 days, have traveled internationally or on a cruise ship in the past 10 days, or test positive for COVID-19.
- Masks are required for all people entering the building. If you do not have a mask, a paper mask will be provided at the check-in station.
- Because we are all fully vaccinated, we may distance at 3’ at all times. Please distance at 6’ when encountering non-Chorale members inside the building.
- Please sanitize hands upon entry using the touchless sanitization stand.
- Do not open windows when in the rehearsal space as this will compromise the effectiveness of the portable medical grade HEPA air purifier.
