Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19
The Novel Coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and health agencies recommend social distancing and have restricted the gathering of groups.
While COVID-19 can cause mild symptoms in some individuals, it can lead to severe illness and even death in others. Adults over age 65 and people of any age with serious underlying medical conditions as defined by the CDC, may be a higher risk for more serious complications from COVID-19.
