COVID Safety

General Rules (updated May 28, 2024)

  1. You must be fully vaccinated at least 14 days before attending your first rehearsal. “Fully vaccinated” means that you have received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. One or more boosters are also highly recommended.
      • You must provide proof of vaccination. This could be a CDC vaccine card (photos are OK), documentation from your doctor’s office, or a screenshot of the QR code offered by the state of California. We ask that you send your proof to vaccine@eastbayharmony.org in advance of attending your first rehearsal.
      • Masking is optional at rehearsals. (If you wish to wear a mask, you might want to consider getting a singer’s mask such as the Resonance Mask or the Broadway Singer’s Mask, which may permit more comfortable breathing.)
      • You must check in at every rehearsal, so we can be sure that we have a record of your attendance for contact-tracing purposes.
      • Any eating or drinking (apart from an occasional sip of water) must be done outside the rehearsal space.
      • If you ever have a positive test result or diagnosis of COVID-19, you must notify a board member immediately, and must avoid coming to rehearsal for at least 7 days.
      • You must stay home whenever you have reason to believe that you will put others at risk.
      • We recommend dressing warmly when the weather is cold, because we keep the doors and windows open for improved air circulation.
