Greetings to the Kingdom of AnTir:
Due to the rapidly changing COVID environment the following policy has been applied to our opening procedures. Please review and reach out if you have any questions. Seneschal at antir.org.
Positive COVID-19 Case Management for the Kingdom of AnTir
This notice does not supersede the already outlined policy for reopening. This is in ‎addition to the current policy.‎
‎1.‎ Reporting a positive case of close contact
a.‎ Anyone who attends an SCA event when potentially infectious for COVID-19, or ‎who has been identified as a primary or secondary close contact, must ‎immediately contact the Kingdom Seneschal’s Office - Seneschal at antir.org
b.‎ As soon as any information is received by the Kingdom Seneschal that suggests ‎that COVID-19 may have been transmitted during an SCA event, the group ‎seneschal and, if relevant, the event steward, must be advised to prepare a ‎contact list. ‎
‎2.‎ In the event of a positive test result, and in addition to the local area’s contact tracing ‎information, the Kingdom Seneschal (or designated deputy) must:‎
a.‎ Advise any participants that they may have been in close contact with a known ‎‎(or potentially) positive case, and directed to immediately self- isolate and await ‎confirmation regarding the relevant contact.‎
b.‎ Provide, upon request, any contact tracing information that has been lawfully ‎requested by the local territory as part of the contact tracing activities.‎
c.‎ In the event of a positive test result all IN-PERSON activities for the branch will ‎be suspended for a minimum of 10 days.‎
Please note, the Kingdom can issue sanctions towards anyone not following the ‎Kingdom’s set policy. Under no circumstances would it be appropriate for anyone to disclose the name of a COVID positive participant. Please be part of the community effort.‎
All attendees to an Event, Meeting, Practice or Gathering sponsored by a group in the ‎Kingdom of AnTir must sign in on a roster at gate prior to entering.‎
Although masks are not mandated by the Kingdom all groups must abide by the State, ‎Local or Provincial rules.‎
All groups must keep stated rosters for 60 days.‎
Required disclaimer to appear on all event notices, flyers, online announcements, and ‎advertisements, as well as being posted in multiple locations, including Gate/Registration, at all ‎branch activities: ‎
Although the SCA complies with all applicable laws to ensure the health and safety of our ‎event participants, we cannot eliminate the risk of exposure to infectious diseases during in-person ‎events. By participating in the in-person events of the SCA, you acknowledge and accept the ‎potential risks. You agree to take any additional steps to protect your own health and safety and ‎those under your control as you believe to be necessary. ‎
This language will be required to appear on all event notices, flyers, online ‎announcements, and advertisements, as well as being posted in multiple locations at any and all ‎SCA-sponsored functions going forward. ‎
