COVID Protocols: Westminster Grange Hall has windows that can be opened to provide ventilation. In addition, it has ventilation fans that can be used to increase ventilation. We ask that everyone take an antigen test - over the counter, rapid test - each day before the singing. Please test yourself at your home/accommodation before leaving for the singing, and snap a picture of the negative test result with your phone. We will try to have some tests available at the door if you forget yours or if you have difficulty procuring tests. We encourage singers to be vaccinated for COVID. Masking will not be required (though participants are welcome to mask if they wish). If you feel ill, or if you know you have been exposed to COVID immediately before the singing, please stay home and get well!
