DECEPTA CON COVID TESTING UPDATE

Hi everyone!! We continue to look towards the CDC and what is happening in Atlanta to help guide us in all health discissions as we plan for Decepta Con again! Continue to monitor us here and on our Facebook group for any updates that might come as the environment changes.

After months of deliberation, it has been decided that Decepta Con 2023 will not require Covid-19 testing, and masks will be optional. We will continue to provide free KN95 masks to those that want them, as well as having HEPA air purifiers and/or Corsi-Rosenthal boxes in every room for optimal air circulation and filtration.

We are following the CDC guidelines, which rate the Covid-19 community level for our county and the surrounding areas as low. The city of Atlanta lifted the mask mandate earlier this year, meaning outside of hospitals and doctors’ offices, no establishment requires a mask (grocery stores, restaurants, theaters, hotels, etc). While we urge all of our attendees to be vaccinated (if you are able) for your own health, it will not be a requirement for entry, as being vaccinated does not stop you from getting or spreading Covid.

If present conditions change, we reserve the right to update our policy to comply with CDC recommendations.

Covid isn’t the only thing out there you can catch. If you are sick and aren’t feeling well, please stay home or in your hotel room. If you are continuously coughing (regardless of the reason – common cold, allergies, etc.), you must wear a mask or leave the area, and our staff will not hesitate to tell you this.

We reserve the right to ask you to wear a mask or ask you to leave if you are coughing or appear to be sick, regardless of the reason.

In short, be a decent human and do the right thing! This community is like a family and we should all still take the necessary precautions in our own lives to protect ourselves and our con friends and family.
