Loft COVID Protocols for Programming

Open Book is open to the public, and the Loft is offering in-person classes and events at Open Book.

For the greatest protection against COVID and other viruses, the Loft strongly encourages—but does not require—that constituents wear a mask to Loft classes or events. However, in accordance with CDC guidelines, if you have a known exposure in the last ten days you must wear a mask in order to participate. If you are showing symptoms, have a temperature above 100.0, or test positive for COVID, you should not attend any in-person classes or events. If you’re part of an in-person class, teaching artists are willing to share information that was discussed and handouts that were distributed if you are unable to attend classes due to COVID-related symptoms (or any illness). As ever, this is a fluid situation, we will continue to monitor community transmission rates and communicate updates or changes as needed. For questions regarding this policy, we ask that you please email [email protected] or call our Education Team 612-379-8999.
