COVID-19 Proof of Vaccination or Negative COVID Test Requirements (updated 4/2/2022)
In accordance with current SCA, Inc. and East Kingdom policies, all attendees over the age of 5 will be required to show either proof of full vaccination or negative test results of a medically-supervised COVID test taken within 72 hours of the the event. Event staff will check this documentation. Attendees over the age of 18 also still need to show gov’t-issued photo ID or SCA blue cards with the same name as the vaccination card/negative test results. Attendees who fail to meet these requirements will be denied entry to the event.
Masking & Social Distancing Guidelines
East Kingdom COVID-19 policy, as updated on March 2, 2022, no longer requires attendees at outdoor activities to wear masks. Event attendees over the age of 2 years are required to wear masks when indoors or when gathering in a public tent/pop-up/pavilion with 3 or 4 walls. (The air flow with 3 or 4 walls up is considered insufficient to be safely unmasked.) Masks may be lowered briefly while actively eating or drinking. Those who wish to wear masks are welcome and encouraged to do so. We highly encourage all attendees to continue to socially distance and wash/sanitize their hands as often as necessary.
