ROCA – Revised Covid Guidelines October 2024
Covid guidelines have evolved over the years, based on known science and the advent of vaccines. ROCA’s Health and Safety Committee has therefore revised our guidelines developed in 2022.
These new guidelines are based upon the most recent (July 2024) information provided by the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC).
The ROCA community is blessed to have a wide range of members, some of whom have conditions which put them at increased risk of infection. Therefore, in the interest of keeping everyone healthy, Orchestra and Chorus members must continue to self monitor for symptoms of respiratory illness and Covid prior to attending rehearsals. Completing a Covid test is an excellent tool to check for illness if you are experiencing symptoms or have been in contact with someone who is.
ROCA recommends that members follow current BCDC recommendations to self isolate at home until a fever is gone for 24 hours without use of fever reducing medications, (48 hours for vomiting or diarrhea) and until symptoms have subsided and you feel well enough to participate in daily activities.
ROCA recommends that members mask and maintain physical distance from other members if they are well enough to attend rehearsal after self isolating, with the understanding that they may be contagious up to 5-10 days after symptoms appear depending on the severity of their illness.
