UW Bothell and Cascadia College Events and Gatherings: 2021 Fall Quarter Considerations and Planning Steps

Below outlines logistical considerations and planning steps for in-person events sponsored by or conducted at the University of Washington Bothell.

Considerations to reduce potential for COVID-19 exposure:

• Virtual activities, hybrid virtual/in-person events, and small group gatherings are better than larger gatherings.
• Outdoor gatherings or indoor gatherings in well-ventilated spaces where people can space out are better than crowded gatherings in small poorly ventilated spaces.
• Gatherings where individuals wear face coverings are better than those where attendees are unmasked and eating/drinking, singing, or shouting.
• Gatherings that are short in duration are better
• than gatherings where people are interacting over long periods of time.

Event organizers should assess the risk based on current public health guidance and community conditions, and be prepared to modify, postpone, or cancel if needed. All UW events should follow the UW In-Person Event COVID-19 Prevention Plan.

Organizers of events/gatherings must utilize the following logistical considerations to reduce the potential for COVID-19 transmission. Organizers must establish a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for all University sponsored, organized or hosted events by following the UW Guidelines for Establishing a Vaccine Requirement for In-Person University Event and require individuals to stay home if they are ill or have COVID-19 symptoms or have been instructed to isolate or quarantine by a public health professional. As possible:

• Consider hosting smaller events in larger spaces.
• Utilize patio and other outdoor spaces for gatherings.
• Choose spaces where you can open windows and doors or utilize indoor mechanical ventilation.
• Consider using portable ventilation equipment at indoor events to increase ventilation.
• If using outdoor tents with sidewalls, consider rolling them up at least 12 inches to enhance ventilation
• Clearly identify outdoor eating and drinking spaces and utilize best practices and recommendations for eating spaces and food sharing when serving food at an event or gathering. Eating and drinking indoors is currently not permitted at UWB and CC events.
• Consider not serving food or drink at your event. If you must serve food or drink, limit the amount of time spent eating/drinking by incorporating breaks in the programming so individuals can eat in designated outdoor eating spaces.
• Clearly mark floors with 6 feet of distancing for spaces with potential lines such as restrooms, tables to pick up food, or give-away stations.
• Have multiple entrances and exits with directional signage to reduce bottlenecking of foot traffic.
• Use visual guidance to discourage crowding. Consider using floor markers to illustrate 6 ft distancing in areas where lines or crowding may occur, and orient furniture to support people spacing out in the event space.

UW Bothell Event Planning Steps

I. Complete a UW In-Person Event COVID-19 Prevention Plan (CPP):

• Event organizers use this template to ensure that required elements to prevent COVID-19 transmission are addressed in planning the in-person event.
• The CPP process involves designating a COVID-19 Site Supervisor responsible for implementing the event plan, preparing pre-event communications around event policies and safety measures, arranging for hand hygiene supplies and cleaning/disinfection supplies and scheduling for the event, posting signage for communication of safety measures during the event.
• Submit the In-Person Event CPP to the University unit representative or sponsor and the venue operator for review and agreement.

EH&S is available to review and provide guidance on CPPs upon request. For events with 100+ people, it is recommended you submit your In-Person Event CPP to UWB EH&S Allyson Long (arlong@uw.edu) for safety review and recommendations no later than 14 days prior to the event.

Ensure adequate cleaning and disinfection supplies are available by submitting a UWB Facilities work order request no later than 10 days prior to the event.

I. Event organizers may consider having a post-event meeting to discuss:

• Lessons learned.
• Ways to improve or refine planning and implementation.
• Concerns or complaints related to COVID-19 safety at the event.

II. Contact UWB EH&S Allyson Long (arlong@uw.edu):

• To report COVID-19 non-compliance issues.
• For guidance on reporting COVID-19 symptom or positive test results to the UW EH&S COVID-19 Response and Prevention Team (covidehc@uw.edu) or 206-616-3344).
• With questions about UW policies and for advice on event safety logistics.
