Photo Release & Disclaimer
I am specifically granting my permission to Special Olympics to use my likeness, name, voice and words in television, radio, film, newspapers, magazines and other media, and in any form for the purpose of advertising or communicating the purposes and activities of Special Olympics and/or applying for funds to support those purposes and activities.
Code of Conduct
During this time of a pandemic, certain precautions are needed.
As a participant in any capacity (athlete, volunteer, coach, Unified partner, family/caregiver, etc.), this is the code of conduct that you are agreeing to by participating in Special Olympics North Carolina to help keep you and and your fellow participants safe:
• If I have COVID-19 symptoms, I will stay at home and NOT go to any activities until 7 days after all of my symptoms are over. If I am exposed to COVID-19 and have no symptoms, I can return 14 days after exposure.
• Special Olympics gave me education on Special Olympics rules for COVID-19 and who is at high-risk.
• I know that if I have a high-risk condition, I have more risk that I could get sick or die from COVID-19. If I have a high-risk condition, I should not go to Special Olympics events in person, until there is little or no Coronavirus in my community.
• I know that before or when I get to a Special Olympics activity, they will ask me some questions about symptoms and exposure to COVID-19. They may also take my temperature. I will answer truthfully and participate fully.
• I will keep at least 6 feet from all participants at all times.
• I will wear a mask at all times while at Special Olympics activities. I may not have to wear it during active exercise.
• I will wash my hands for 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer before any activities. I will wash my hands any time I sneeze, cough, go to the bathroom or get my hands dirty.
• I will avoid touching my face. I will cover my mouth when I cough or sneeze and immediately wash my hands after.
• I will not share drinking bottles or towels with other people.
• I will only share equipment when instructed to. If equipment must be shared, I will only touch the equipment if it is disinfected first.
• If I get or have had COVID, I will not go to any in-person Special Olympics events until 7 days after my symptoms end. I will go to my doctor and get written clearance before returning to any sport or fitness activities.
• I understand that if I do not follow all of these rules, I may not be allowed to participate in Special Olympics activities during this time.
