COVID-19 Plan
The Diana Initiative plans to be in person in Las Vegas. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic brings extra considerations to our planning.
We, and our attendees, must adhere to the current US and Nevada rules at the time of the event. These are constantly in flux and we will have to be flexible. Our rules may go above and beyond the legal minimums set in place by the Country and State and County we are hosting the event in.
Masks
We are requiring everyone to wear a mask.
- The mask needs to be [FFP2], KF-94, KN-95, N-95s, or comparable. Cloth masks with filters (such as PM2.5) are acceptable.
- Mask should be a solid, multi-layer piece of material.
- Mask should not have slits, punctures, or be loosely woven / has slits (such as tulle, crochet, lace, etc).
- Mask should not have exhalation valves.
- A properly worn mask completely covers the nose and mouth.
- May contain filter pockets or sleeves.
- Items that do not count as masks; Cloth masks without filters, Scarves, ski masks, balaclavas, bandannas, shirt or sweater collars pulled up over the mouth and nose.
Air-cycling
We will be testing the Carbon Dioxide levels (CO2 ppm) in the event space before and during the event. We plan to place air filtration units in spaces with weaker air cycling to keep the risk levels lower.
