COVID-19 Precautions WNA requires ALL attendees to be up to date on COVID-19 vaccination and to monitor for symptoms of COVID infection before attending conference. Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, we strongly recommend masks be worn when indoors at the conference, and if transmission levels are high in Winnebago County at the time of the conference, we may require them to be worn indoors for all attendees. In addition, each conference attendee will choose a color-coded sticker for their name tag to indicate their social distancing preference (green, yellow, or red) and ALL participants are expected to gauge their interpersonal interactions with respect for the individual's preference. A green color-coded sticker means that a person is okay being approached at shorter distances. They are fine with direct physical contact such as handshakes or hugs. A yellow color-coded sticker means that a person is cautious and would like to keep six feet distance. They prefer indirect physical contact such as elbow bumps or air high-fives. A red color-coded sticker means that a person is extra cautious and would like to keep further than six feet in distance. They would prefer no direct contact, no exceptions.
