Covid-19 Information

The safety and well-being of our attendees, volunteers, and community members are of utmost concern to everyone at Bootblack Round-UP. The purpose of these guidelines is to help prevent COVID-19 transmission during Bootblack Round-Up. Taking guidance from the CDC, internal accessibility channels, community polling, and the Anne Arundel and Baltimore County Health Departments, BBRU is requiring all participants in our in-person events to provide proof of vaccination or proof of a negative PCR test for COVID-19 taken within 72 hours of the event. You will be asked to show this proof when you arrive at the event. Full refunds will be given if an attendee provides proof of a positive PCR test for Covid-19. 

We will have hand sanitizer stations readily available at safer sex stations and around the event. We encourage you to bring your own if you need a specific kind. Masks will be available onsite. 

After heavy deliberation, we have decided to ***ASK*** attendees to wear face coverings, when possible, in common indoor areas such as classrooms, hallways, elevators, the lobby, vending, registration, etc. But, again, please practice strong personal accountability and responsibility.

We will not penalize attendees who choose not to mask. Instead, we ask for your support in keeping our community safe. Please respect the decisions of each attendee and practice strong personal responsibility and accountability. In addition to these requirements, we are offering a virtual event option. The virtual event will give you access to live streams of Saturday's classes via Hopin.
