Lahontan Audubon Society - Coronavirus (COVID-19)
As of the writing of this notice, there are now two reports of COVID-19 in Washoe County and five in Las Vegas. The situation continues to be fluid and the LAS Board of Trustees wants you to be aware that we are actively monitoring reports and advise from the Washoe County Health Department on how to keep our events safe for everyone. At this time all LAS events are proceeding as scheduled.
If there is a need to modify, reschedule or cancel scheduled events, you will be notified via email and through the website calendar of events.
Attending our events is totally your choice and comfort level. If you are not comfortable interacting with the group, we’ll understand your choice to stay away. As a precaution, we will be practicing "Social Distancing" at all our events. No physical contact like shaking hands or hugging. To minimize the risk of spreading the virus at our events we will suspend refreshments at our chapter meeting on Tuesday, March 24. We will, also, suspend sharing spotting scopes and binoculars at our bird walks.
If you are frail, feeling sick, or have a medical condition that could worsen if exposed to the virus, please stay home.
For the benefit of your own health and the welfare of your fellow members and guests, we ask you to follow these tips from the Washoe County Health Department:
Do your research and keep on top of updates at the following websites:
CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
Washoe County Health District: https://www.washoecounty.us/health/index.php
The health and safety of our members is of great importance to us. We feel confident that careful, thoughtful and data based actions on our part will provide a safe environment for all of us to enjoy activities devoted to what we love - birds!!!
Again, this is a very fluid situation. The Board of Trustees will actively monitor the local conditions, take proactive decisions that are intended to protect the health and safety of all our members and guests. We'll continue to keep you updated when changes to events are required via email. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.
