MRC COVID-19 Policies


Updated: March 12, 2023

 

All members and guests are required to follow these COVID-19 policies, based on Minnesota Department of Health guidance, to help keep our club and community healthy.

Please email Jen Sowins, Club Administrator, or Lisa Ohnstad, Club President, if you have any questions or to report a positive COVID-19 case.

MRC strongly recommends being fully vaccinated, including the latest bivalent booster shot.


The COVID-19 Vaccination Status information, including +Booster, in your iCrew Profile is the source of information on your vaccination status. All members are asked to fill out this information. If not provided, status will be treated as Not Vaccinated.


General membership expectations:

If you test positive for COVID:

  • Report your positive test to your coach, Club Administrator, or Club President. MRC will keep your information confidential and notify potential exposure to anyone who was in a boat with you in the two days prior to you becoming sick, based on iCrew contact tracing capabilities.

  • Do not return to rowing and the boathouse until 5 full days of isolation are complete (day 1 is the day after you first experience symptoms or test positive) AND

  • Do not return to rowing and the boathouse until you’ve had a negative antigen (rapid) test and are symptom-free.

If you have been exposed to someone with COVID:

  • You are required to wear a high-quality, well-fitting mask inside and on land at MRC until day 11 after your potential exposure.

  • Indoor exercise and erging at MRC are not permitted at all until day 11.

  • Test for COVID on day 6 after the potential exposure.

  • No rowing in multi-person boats is permitted until day 11.

Boathouse:
