The safety of our community relies on the responsible behavior of its members. Please do not come to train if you have ANY cold or flu-like symptoms.
If you begin experiencing common symptoms of COVID-19 such as sore throat, fever, cough, or loss of taste or smell, you must take a COVID test before coming to the dojo. At-home “rapid” tests are acceptable for this purpose.
Be aware that some members of our community are of advanced age, or may have immune disorders or other health concerns.
If you have been around a person who you know to be positive for COVID-19, you must take a COVID test before coming to the dojo. At-home “rapid” tests are acceptable for this purpose.
If you test positive for COVID-19:
- Notify Kayla Feder Sensei as soon as you can, so that we may notify your direct contacts (510) 776-4700.
- Wait five days, then begin testing again.
- Once you have a NEGATIVE test result, you may return to the mat as long as you wear a mask for the first five days after your negative test.
Regardless of COVID status, please stay away from the dojo until 24 hours after symptoms of ANY illness disappear.
In an effort to protect everyone in our community, especially our members and visitors who are immunocompromised, I request that you be vaccinated for Covid, get your flu shots, and not come to class if you think you have a contagious or infectious disease: cold, flu, Covid, etc. We practice very close to one another, breathe in one another’s faces, and even touch one another’s faces at times, so we want to do our best to protect, honor, and respect all of our members/visitors as best we can.
THIS IS NOT A RULE. I will not be policing it. This IS a strong request in order to protect those who are unable to get vaccines and/or who are vulnerable to illness.
