Midrealm Reopening Information

From the SCA Kingdom of the Middle Seneschal: With the changes in CDC guidelines (Massetti et al, 2022) that were published during Pennsic we (Curia) have re-evaluated the current kingdom COVID guidelines.
Effective immediately we are discontinuing ALL COVID-19 related mask mandates and tracking. We still expect that if you test positive for COVID you not attend SCA events for 10 days unless you have two consecutive negative antigen tests taken 48 hours apart. We request that if you are sick with any virus that you reconsider your attendance at an event. Is it worth you being “that person”? If you attend an SCA event it is up to you to decide to mask, or not. If you attend an SCA event it should be assumed that you may be exposed to COVID-19 or other infectious agents, the same as if you go to a grocery store, eat in a restaurant, attend a concert or any other activity you can currently do without restriction in the states covered by the Midrealm.
