New COVID testing requirement for Tournament of Rocks

In light of the surge in COVID cases associated with the Omicron variant, plus the increased travel and family gatherings this year, we have decided to adopt a vaccination-plus-testing protocol.

For the Tournament of Rocks bonspiel next week, all participants and spectators are required to show proof of full vaccination (minimum two doses, with minimum 2 weeks time since second dose).  Additionally, we are requiring that all participants and spectators provide a negative COVID test.  This may be a PCR test taken within 48 hours of event start, or an antigen test taken the same day.

To save time at check in, you may opt to email your test results or vaccination record to SCCC at covid@curling.la.  All submissions to this email will be used to check off your name, then deleted.  SCCC will not keep your information on file. If you don’t choose to utilize this option, please be sure to bring your vaccination record (a digital option is fine), and your negative test result.

LA County offers free testing sites, regardless of insurance status.  Likewise, you can get free testing through most CVS, Walgreens, Albertsons, Wal Mart, Target, Ralph’s, etc… At-home antigen tests can be purchased at most pharmacies.

Thank you for your understanding and willingness to adapt as we work to keep our curling family as safe as possible! Please let us know if you have any questions.  Happy holidays!
