[Atlantia-Announce] Kingdom of Atlantia Amended Covid Policy

[Atlantian Seneschal]

Unto the populace of Atlantia does the Kingdom Seneschal, Maistir Cian,
send greetings.

During the second week of May, several members who attended Crown
Tournament, reported that they had tested positive for Covid. Over the last
two weeks, the CDC has reported a rise in the daily number of reported
infections in Northern Virginia and Maryland.



In response to changing conditions, after consultation with the Society
Seneschal, and with the support and concurrence of Their Majesties and
Their Highnesses, I am amending Atlantian Covid Policy effective Monday May
23, 2022:



   1. Branch Seneschals throughout the Kingdom of Atlantia are authorized
   to require attendees and participants at official events and activities
   sponsored by their branch to wear a properly fitted mask at all times when
   *indoors*.



   1. Properly fitted mask, for purposes of this policy, means a mask worn
   covering the wearer’s mouth and nose.



   1. Seneschals requiring indoor masking will notify the Kingdom Seneschal
   within 24 hours of making the decision and will utilize best efforts to
   publish the requirements to potential attendees and participants.



   1. Events requiring masking indoors should plan to have several boxes of
   disposable masks on hand.



   1. Attendees at University Sessions shall wear a properly fitted mask *at
   all times* when engaged in indoor classes and activities.



   1. The owners or custodians of day shades and pavilions, including
   owners and custodians of baronial or other branch day shades and pavilions,
   may require all persons to wear a properly fitted mask while under said day
   shade or pavilion.  This requirement must be properly displayed at the
   day shade.



   1. All attendees and participants in official events and activities are
   strongly encouraged to carry a mask with them when attending official
   events and activities.



   1. Branch and shire seneschals are strongly encouraged but not required
   to cancel indoor feasts in regions where case counts are increasing, until
   further notice.



   1. Indoor feasts should utilize social distancing where possible in the
   placement of tables.



   1. If a site or local government is *recommending* stricter rules than
   Atlantian policy, please contact me directly to discuss a possible variance.



   1. Any provisions of Atlantian Covid Policy not directly addressed here,
   remain in full force and effect.



   1. The Atlantian Covid Policy will be reviewed monthly with the Crown
   and Great Officers, and more frequently as circumstances dictate.



Please reach out to me regarding any questions or clarifications on these
policy amendments.  These changes are in effect indefinitely, until
rescinded.

A reminder that these rules must be followed and enforced 100%.  Please
remember that we are a Society based on honor, courtesy, and respect.  It
costs nothing to be kind, even if you disagree.



In service to Crown and Kingdom,
