FIRST Mid-Atlantic Event COVID-19 Information

FIRST Mid-Atlantic continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our programs in the New Jersey, Delaware, and Eastern Pennsylvania area. For the 2023-2024 season, we will be following guidelines from state and county health departments, the CDC and local school districts regarding COVID-19. Decisions regarding event planning are made based on the guidance and policies as established by community and public health officials.

People may choose to wear masks at any time at our events and are encouraged to do so if they wish. All individuals are encouraged to be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations.

As always, if you are sick or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, please stay home and take care of yourself.
