There will be a wellness screening each morning at the Paratech Registration table where temperatures will be taken, and we will ask each attendee to let the Paratech representative know if they are experiencing any of the below symptoms.
Masks are mandatory during registration, inside buildings, when within 15 feet of hot zone for each station and staging. Masks can be removed to eat, drink and during breaks/lunches when social distancing can be maintained. At the registration table, Paratech will have disposable face masks available if you need one. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout Paratech University.
We ask that you please stay home if you have a fever, cough, are symptomatic, or have been around anyone with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis in the last 14 days.
If anyone attending the Paratech University refuses to have their temperature taken, refuses to wear a face mask or has a temperature of 100.4 or over you will be asked to exit the property. This is to ensure the safety of all attending Paratech University.
