[Cynnabar] New SCA and MidReal CovidSafe Policy - attached

[Seneschal Cynnabar via Barony]

 Please note that this applies to ALL official SCA activities - meetings,
practices, A&S gatherings, and weekend events.  *NOTE:  further practical
details regarding implementation will be forwarded as soon as they are
available.*

YIS, Nezkha

Their Royal Majesties and Curia of the Middle Kingdom are pleased to
announce that the Middle Kingdom will be implementing the COVIDSafe policy
as published by the BOD of the SCA.

*This policy will be effective in the Middle Kingdom beginning October
13th. * Crown Tournament will be the first weekend event for which
vaccination or a negative test will be required.

Over the past two days we have received overwhelming support for this
policy, 95% of all respondents are in favor of the COVIDSafe policy. Many
respondents indicated that this would allow them to feel safe at the indoor
winter events and at meetings and gatherings in general.
This policy is being implemented alongside existing policy regarding mask
wearing and shared food. Those policies remain in effect, unchanged.

We understand that, for a small proportion of the populace, this policy
will mean that they decide to cease their participation, and for that we
are sorry. However, please recognize that this is a temporary measure. As
infection rates fall, as they are predicted by the CDC to do, we anticipate
lifting of restrictions and measures.

We are all weary, however, infection, hospitalization and death numbers do
not lie. The COVID pandemic is not over, and we must recognize this fact.
This policy allows us the ability to gather for events with an increased
feeling of safety and security.
