ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY
RELATING TO CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19
The novel coronavirus, COVD-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments have, in many location, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. As these prohibitions and restrictions are lifted, SHOSHINKAN of Las Vegas (Shoshinkan) has reopened.
Shoshinkan has put in place preventative measures to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19: however, Shoshinkan cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participating in the martial arts training at Shoshinkan could possibly increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
