Health and Safety Protocols

We have taken enhanced health and safety measures—for DogFest Jacksonville participants, staff, volunteers and vendors. You must follow all posted instructions while attending DogFest Jacksonville.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and attendees with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.

By attending DogFest Jacksonville, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.

To ensure the health and safety of all DogFest Jacksonville attendees, the following health and safety protocols will be followed by staff, volunteers, vendors and participants:

• ​Face mask must be worn at all times (age 2+). The mask must cover both your nose and mouth.
• Maintain a distance of 6+ feet from those outside your home cohort. Signage will be placed throughout DogFest as a reminder. Vendors may only have two customers in their booth space at any given time.
• Hand sanitizing stations will be available.
• If you are experiencing or have been in contact with someone who is experiencing the following symptoms or has been diagnosed with COVID-19, please do not attend DogFest in person. We'd love to have you join us online for the virtual component. This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID-19.

• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches

We will be monitoring attendance to ensure capacity allows for adherence to the distancing requirements.

Note: These protocols may change as conditions warrant.
