COVID-19
The Government of Nova Scotia declared a province-wide state of emergency under the Emergency Management Act on March 22, 2020, to protect the health and safety of all Nova Scotians and to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). COVID-19 is easily spread by contact with droplets produced by people who have the virus. SOUTH SHORE LIGHTNING BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION has put in place measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, SOUTH SHORE LIGHTNING BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION cannot guarantee that any individual attending a SOUTH SHORE LIGHTNING BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION session, camp and or club team practice/game at determined location or participating in activities or events organized by SOUTH SHORE LIGHTNING BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, at determined location and participating in activities or events organized by the SOUTH SHORE LIGHTNING BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION could increase the risk of contracting COVID-19. As a result, SOUTH SHORE LIGHTNING BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION and the participant acknowledge that COVID-19 has resulted in uncertainty and risk around public events.
