As much as we all want to hang out and work on projects together, remember that we're still in a pandemic. The last thing we want is a COVID-19 outbreak in the Root Access community, so please follow these guidelines if you're planning on coming to the hackerspace.
Everyone coming to the space should be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, unless there is a valid age, medical, or religious reason for an exemption.
Please wear a face mask when inside the space. Cloth masks are okay, N95/KN95 masks are better. We have disposable masks on hand, if you need one.
If you have, or have had a recent exposure to, COVID-19, whether you are showing symptoms or not, do not come to the space until you're in the clear.
Thanks for your patience and understanding as we try to keep the space open in a way that also keeps everyone safe!
