I commit to follow the Mountaineers Global Adventures covid-19 policy to support everyone in the group staying healthy and not passing illness on to other group members during the trip!

Participants and leader(s) must be fully vaccinated to participate in the trip. This includes the most recent boosters that the participant is eligible for.
In addition, participants are expected to practice conservative covid behavior before and during transit to the trip including masking at airport and in planes and avoiding crowded indoor spaces whenever possible.
Participants and leader(s) are expected to self-test proactively any time the week before or during the trip, if they experience a symptom commonly related to COVID or any other contagious illness. Participants will need to let the leader know so that the leader can monitor. Any positive test or significant contagious symptoms will mean that the participant will need to wear a mask and isolate from the rest of the group members as much as possible until they no longer have a fever and their symptoms have mostly gone away (this would include moving them, or their roommate, out of a shared hotel room or tent, or temporarily tripling-up another room with their roommate, or if symptoms are severe enough, may be asked to stay at a nearby lodging while the group goes on.).

*This question is required.
