YPT COVID Protocols

** Guidance may change as CDC, California State, and Yolo County guidance changes **

• All performers participating in a YPT production will wear a mask during auditions, rehearsals, and shows.
• Beginning January 10, 2022, all performers must be vaccinated (have 2 vaccines by 1/10/22).
• All volunteers must be vaccinated.
• Everyone entering the theater will wear a mask that meets Yolo County mask guidelines.
• All performers will test and report the results twice per week.
  • Tests must be spaced ~3 days apart.
  • Regular negative test results must be on record for continued participation.
  • Free testing is provided by Healthy Davis Together https://healthydavistogether.org/testing/
  • Tests performed by an authorized testing facility (Healthy Davis/Yolo, medical provider, pharmacy, etc.) are preferred. However, if a home test is used, it must meet Yolo County guidelines to be accepted (have the name of the person being tested, date/time collected, and result included in the photo of the test).
• All production team members including parent volunteers will provide a negative COVID-19 test result 72 hours prior to a work shift.
• All performers and YPT volunteers/parents/guardians must self-certify NO to the following questions to be allowed to enter DMTC (Note: If you answer Yes to any of these, you must have a negative COVID test prior to entering the building, as well as not be subject to any quarantine or isolation rules.):
  • Have you experienced any of the following symptoms in the past 48 hours:
    • Fever or chills
    • Cough
    • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
    • Fatigue
    • Muscle or body aches
    • Headache
    • New loss of taste or smell
    • Sore throat
    • Congestion or runny nose
    • Nausea or vomiting
    • Diarrhea
  • Are you isolating or quarantining because you tested positive for COVID-19 or are worried that you may be sick with COVID-19?
  • Have you been in close physical contact in the last 14 days with:
    • Anyone who is known to have laboratory confirmed COVID-19?
    • Anyone who has symptoms consistent with COVID-19?
• A positive test or exposure will result in following current county quarantine procedures. This may cause performers to miss one or more performances due to quarantine; in that event an understudy will be used.
• Performers with a recent positive test will have a modified testing policy for 90 days following the positive test, due to the nature of the tests.
