Frequently Asked Questions
All attendees must answer "NO" to all of the questions on the Symptom Survey before they are allowed to enter the meeting area. Anyone who answers "YES" to any of the questions must leave the meeting premises immediately.
If someone refuses to wear a mask, remind them this is a statewide public health requirement for the protection of others, as well as a UC ANR program requirement. If they will not comply, ask them to leave until they can comply with this requirement. If this behavior persists, this should be handled like other 4-H policy or code of conduct violation.
If a participant (4-H member, volunteer, or parent) tells you that they cannot wear a mask for medical reasons, contact your 4-H staff in the County office to discuss the situation and alternatives. In some cases, a clear plastic face shield may be an appropriate alternative.
If a volunteer, parent, or 4-H member tells you that they have COVID-19 or believe they were exposed at a 4-H activity, immediately report this information to your local 4-H staff.
The Attendance Log from the event must be submitted to Public Health contact tracing personnel if a participant and/or a member of the participants’ household is diagnosed with COVID-19.
