The following policy applies to all events at Red Hot Blues & BBQ 2024. This policy supersedes other Capital Blues policies where they may diverge.
Masks optional
Masking for Red Hot Blues & BBQ 2024 is optional and not required.
Negative Covid test required for entry
You must provide proof (such as a photo) of a negative Covid test administered within 48 hours of the event (that is, after 7pm Wednesday, May 22). One test is sufficient for the whole weekend.
There are two ways do so:
- Send a photo of your negative Covid test sent to covid@capitalblues.com. Please make sure the photo is well-lit and legible, and that test stripe is clearly visible. Keep a copy of the photo on your phone as backup.
- Take a test at check-in (a limited number of tests will be available) or bring your own to take before entry.
If you test positive, we ask that you go home immediately and email us for a refund.
We will delete all emails with test results within seven days of the event.
If you feel sick…
We will reimburse full registration cost to anyone who tests positive for Covid (or other similar infections), feels ill, or displays flu-like symptoms within 7 days prior to arrival. In such a case, please contact us at info@capitalblues.org as soon as possible.
Additional safety measures
Capital Blues will also take the following actions:
- Masks and hand sanitizer will be provided free-of-charge at check-in for all events.
- All staff and volunteers handling food will be required to wear masks at all times while on duty.
- We will attempt to improve ventilation in all event spaces, including addition of fans and air filters where practical.
This policy may be updated as necessary.
