Please read the following sickness protocols carefully and follow them throughout the event. This includes COVID-19, flu, viruses and any other contagious illnesses:

• Testing: It is recommended that all attendees take a COVID-19 test 24 hours or less before your Summit arrival. If you test positive, please stay home and rest!
• Vaccinations: While we will not ask for proof of vaccination, YSC strongly encourages all Summit participants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including eligible booster shots.
• Masking: Masks are not required, but you may want to consider wearing one in crowded spaces or if you are currently immunocompromised. We will provide a supply of masks in the registration area, as well as hand sanitizing stations.

Please not that YSC will be following health trends carefully in the days leading up to the YSC Wellness Summit. We reserve the right to change the sickness safety protocols, so that we are taking various infection rates and spread (included COVID-19) into account. All registrants will be notified of changes in advance of their arrival.
