COVID-19 DISCLAIMER COVID-19 has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Dallas IDA put in place preventative measures to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 at its events and activities, including suggesting masks and having hand sanitizer readily available. However, Dallas IDA cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19 by attending and/or participating in its events. Attending and/or participating in Dallas IDA’s events during the COVID-19 pandemic could expose you to someone who has been infected with COVID-19 and increase your risk of contracting COVID-19. By participating in any Dallas IDA events, you: (1) acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19; (2) voluntarily assume all risk that you may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19; and (3) agree to release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Dallas IDA and its officers, employees, agents, and representatives from any and all claims arising out of or related to exposure to COVID-19, including but not limited to claims for personal injury, illness, disability, death, economic loss, and expenses of any kind. Dallas IDA respectfully asks you not to participate in any of our events if you are showing symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, muscle pain, headaches, sore throat, loss of taste or smell).
