COVID-19 is extremely contagious. The state of medical knowledge is evolving, but the virus is believed to spread from person-to-person contact and/or by contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, and even possibly in the air. People can be infected and show no symptoms and therefore spread the disease. The exact methods of spread and contraction are unknown, and there is no known cure for COVID-19. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death. Vaccines for COVID-19 are being made available with the distribution plan and schedule varying by state. CASBO and the Aqua Turf Club cannot prevent you from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while attending its meeting and/or entering onto premises where CASBO events are held. It is not possible to prevent against the presence of the disease. Therefore, if you choose to attend a conference organized by CASBO and enter onto premises where its event is held, you may be exposing yourself to and/or increasing your risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. ASSUMPTION OF RISK: I have read and understood the above warning concerning COVID-19. I hereby choose to accept the risk of contracting COVID-19 for myself in order to attend CASBO’s event and enter the event premises. The event is of such value to me that I accept the risk of being exposed to, contracting, and/or spreading COVID-19 in order to attend in person. WAIVER OF LAWSUIT/LIABILITY: I hereby forever release and waive my right to bring suit against CASBO and its members, officers, directors, managers, officials, trustees, agents, employees, or other representatives for fault in connection with exposure, infection, and/or spread of COVID-19 related to attending its event. I understand that this waiver means I give up my right to bring any claim based in negligence, including for personal injuries, death, disease, property losses, or any other loss, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen.
