that players wear N95 or equivalent masks when possible and test themselves for Covid before each rehearsal.
We will take a break part way through rehearsal and will provide coffee and hot water for tea/hot chocolate

The Advisory Committee will continue to monitor health information and modify protocols as indicated.
