I further agree to notify Kain Performance immediately should I have a suspected or diagnosed/confirmed case of COVID-19 within 14 days of my last attendance of a training session and/or event of Kain Performance.

Kain Performance has taken certain steps to implement recommended guidance and protocols issued by the Public Health Agencies for slowing the transmission of COVID-19; however, Kain Performance cannot guarantee that its participants, volunteers, partners, or others in attendance will not become infected with COVID-19. I acknowledge and agree that due to the nature of the training sessions and/or events of Kain Performance, social distancing of six feet per person among participants or use of a face mask may not be possible.
