COVID PROTOCOLS

- All participants will be required to wear a face covering (aka, mask) that covers their nose and mouth while in the Long Beach Convention Center, except during designated breaks and while actively eating or drinking in the designated areas.
- Face covering should have two (2) or more layers of breathable fabric, which completely cover the nose and mouth, are secured under the chin, fit snuggly against the face without gaps, and have a nose wire to prevent air leaking from the top of the mask. Face shields alone, masks with exhalation valves, single-layer bandannas, bandannas that open below the chin, single-layer gaiters, scarves, and costume masks are unacceptable.

Responsibility for transportation home remains with the participant or his/her guardian/chaperone.
- Full COVID mitigation details are posted on the main NCYC page.
