Masking and Attendance for In-Person Jams

The Twin Cities Ukulele Club attendance and masking policies.

  • Do not attend an in-person jam or event if you are feeling ill or have a known exposure.
  • While the policy in the following paragraph is the Twin Cities Ukulele Club policy, no jammer has asked for all to wear masks for a number of months.​
  • Jammers will wear masks only if one of the jammers asks for all in the jam to wear masks. Some of our Twin Cities Ukulele Club jammers have health conditions that elevate the risk of Covid. We will continue to err on the side of caution to help protect all of our members. If you want masks to be worn, you may advise the jam leader at the jam, or send an email before a jam to tcuker@icloud.com. Leaders will do their best to respect your wish that your request for masking be kept confidential. 
  • If a jammer is unable to wear a mask for medical reasons, they may attend a jam as long as they are willing to distance by at least 6 feet. Other location policies and requirements will remain in effect.
  • All jammers will wear a mask if required by the jam location.

Masking and Singing - As of June 30, 2021, the Minnesota Department of Health says the following on their website. — Singing and instrumental music produced by woodwind or brass instruments are thought to be higher-risk activities for COVID-19 spread due to the aggressive expelling of respiratory droplets. This can result in aerosols that can hang in the air for hours. It is important to take extra precautions when participating in musical activities, especially if they involve vocalists and wind instrument musicians who are not yet vaccinated. -- https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/musicguide.pdf
