What are the new COVID-19 protocols for Parties?

In accordance with the regulations and guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Silver Stars has created a strategic plan for safely operating Parties (see Silver Stars COVID-19 Reopening Plan for more details):

·      All gymnasts must wear a face covering.

·      No students, guests or staff allowed who are showing symptoms of COVID-19.

·      Individuals who are NOT fully vaccinated and considered a close contact (anyone who has been within 6-feet for a period of more than 15 minutes) to anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 10 days are not permitted, unless a negative PCR test taken within days 5-7 after the exposure is produced.

·      Confirmed positive persons should stay home until cleared by the Health Department from isolation which is at least 5 days since symptoms first appeared AND until no fever for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication  AND improvement of other symptoms.

·      In the event that a staff member or gymnast exhibits symptoms of COVID-19 or is exposed to someone with COVID-19, Silver Stars will follow the guidelines provided by the CDC and consult with our local and state health departments regarding reports of COVID-19 exposure. As we are committed to the health and safety of all of our families, our response may include deep cleaning, a temporary suspension of operations, or other actions as determined by the type of exposure. We will communicate with families and staff in accordance with recommendations from licensing agencies and health departments.

·      All staff will complete training on the health and safety protocol updates that Silver Stars will be implementing.

·      All staff will adhere to the cleaning requirements, physical distancing and preventative measures implemented by Silver Stars.

·      Signs will be posted on how to stop the spread of COVID-19 and on how to properly wash hands. While gymnasts will also be required to properly wash hands after bathroom use and before and after eating, parents are expected to go over these policies with their gymnast prior to the start of the party. Please explain the importance of following rules: social distancing, limited contact with other gymnasts and listening to instructors. Parents are encouraged to educate their gymnast to use the appropriate precautionary measures to stop the spread of germs. (i.e., Handwashing, social distancing, cough/sneeze etiquette, personal hygiene, etc.)

·      To decrease the risk of spreading airborne germs, we ask that you bring a separate cupcake for the birthday guest of honor to blow out candles.
