COVID-19 REQUIREMENTS

As per the University of New Brunswick COVID-19 Protocols, all participants of any UNBSU Club or Society event, must be fully vaccinated. Therefore, to register for the club you must provide a proof of vaccination to the URec front desk. That can in the form of one of the following:

• Immunization record from an RHA clinic, pharmacy or Public Health

• Photo or copy of an immunization record

• MyHealth NB record *or home provinces health record

• Proof of Vaccination from another jurisdiction

• Medical exemption certificate (proof of exemption signed by a healthcare provider or an accommodation letter signed by the UNB Student Accessibility Centre)

Please note the following protocols for mask wearing:

• Return to Play Policies: Masks are required when not actively engaged in high intensity/aerobic activities, including participants who are not engaged in active play. Therefore, everyone is required to wear their mask when not actively fencing, and we ask that you please try to remain 2-metres away from those actively fencing, as they will not have a mask on (i.e., watching/reffing).

• UNB Mask Requirements: Medical masks (i.e., surgical or KN95) are recommended, however, cloth masks or disposable masks are allowed.

• Currie Centre Protocols: Masks in locker rooms and hallways, following directional signage, and frequent hand washing continues to be required.

These measures ensure safety for all of our members and we thank you for your cooperation.
