Covid-19 Protocols

It is the position of the Florida Trail Association that all FTA activities may resume fully, as long as they are conducted in accordance with the recommendations and guidelines established by the State of Florida, the CDC, local government, and applicable facility management.

Each individual is responsible for looking into the specific activity, evaluating their situation as well as their family’s health risks, and making their own determination on whether to participate. Note that it is always acceptable for an individual to decide that they do not wish to participate. By signing the FTA Assumption of Risk form, you are acknowledging that you are voluntarily participating in the activity, that you do not have any Covid-19 symptoms which would suggest that you currently have the virus, and that you will follow the instructions of the person(s) in charge (Activity Leader, Trail Crew Leader, etc.). If at any time you feel uncomfortable during the activity, you should make the leader aware of your concerns and if you still feel uncomfortable exit from the activity.

CRITICAL – If you test positive or are having symptoms for Covid-19 after having participated in any activity or have been in contact with FTA personnel, equipment or materials, notify the appropriate contact persons (FTA Staff or Chapter Leadership) immediately and inform them of the situation so that they can evaluate and determine if other individuals may be at risk.
