Willamette Valley English Setter Fanciers Multnomah Irish Setter Association September 20, 2020 Columbia County Fairgrounds, St. Helens, Oregon
Covid-19 Social Distancing Plan Oregon Governor Brown’s Executive Order 20-12 Stay Home, Save Lives requires social distancing measures for public or private gatherings outside the home that include a site distance plan requiring at least six feet between individuals must be maintained at all times (See Article 1, section A).This plan is designed specifically for the Willamette Valley English Setter Fanciers and Multnomah Irish Setter Association AKC Specialty Conformation Shows at Colombia County Fairgrounds, St. Helens, Oregon on September 20, 2020. Columbia County is currently in Phase 2 and no more than 100 persons may congregate for a social event. This plan will be updated if Columbia County enters a different Phase under the Governor’s order prior to this event. Site Distance plan coordinators: Joan Savage and Leslie Russell Why do we need to follow all these rules? The State of Washington Health Authority recently explained that in its daily Medium blog. a. This is how we open the economy. The quickest way to get our businesses open — and keep them open — is to control the virus. That looks like all of us wearing cloth face coverings around other people, staying six feet away from others, and washing our hands b. Physical distancing is a really important part of preventing the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. The virus is spread in respiratory droplets that can travel about six feet when you are coughing, sneezing, singing, or even talking. Stay six feet away from other people and out of range of the virus. c. Wearing a cloth face mask when in public places when other people may be within six feet reduces the risk of accidentally spreading the virus when asymptomatic. d. We want you, our dog friends and family, to know we care about you and want you to be safe and healthy. Please, no peer pressure if someone is reluctant to come out to play yet. We all have different tolerance levels for risk. Besides, someone may have an underlying illness you don’t know about. It’s kind of rude to ask about underlying illnesses, so just support your friends and family in staying home if that’s what they need to take care of themselves. e. We know how to beat this. Testing and contact tracing are trusted tools that we have used for many decades to control disease. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, call your health care provider to get tested. If you have COVID-19, work with public health staff to find people you may have exposed so they can know how not to keep spreading the virus to others. This is how we beat this thing and get our economy growing again. f. We may need to keep following these rules until an effective treatment and/or vaccine is available to stop the spread of Covid-19. Any person who fails to follow this plan, by maintaining at least six feet between individuals at all times and wearing a facemask as required during this event or on the show grounds during show hours will be investigated by the trial committee for misconduct prejudicial to the interests of the sport and may result in expulsion from this event and possible sanction by AKC. 1. If you feel unwell, have a fever, cough, or sneezing before leaving for the show, please stay home. If you have recently been in the presence of a person who has either tested positive for COVID-19 or has the symptoms noted above, stay home. You can text the event secretary if you are unable to attend. 2. Daily COVID-19 Screening: All humans attending this event must check in with the Event Secretary or designee upon arrival to complete a Covid-19 screening form required by the Oregon Health Authority. Look for the bright orange tent to check-in before getting your dogs and gear out. Event Secretary will maintain completed forms for 60 days then they will be destroyed. We will not be taking your temperature. 3. Contact Tracing: If you become ill with Covid-19 after this event, please contact event secretary. We will ask others in a class with you to seek medical advice on distancing due to possible exposure. We will NOT share your identity in doing so. If you are contacted by a Public Health tracer, you can refer them to the Event Secretary to get the names and contact information of others you may have been in contact with at this event.

Armbands will be marked on back with dog’s name and class. If you need to pull a dog after picking up the armband, return to the orange check-in tent to let us know. Or text the event secretary at 971-239-5518 (be sure to tell us class, armband, and event). a. Class staging: When your class is called, come to ready ring/entrance. Do not come up with dog before the class is called. b. Ring steward will call each dog into the ring in catalog order. Be sure to remain at least six feet between you and other humans in the area. c.

Prizes At the conclusion of each class, the judge will not hand out class ribbons. Instead, ribbons will be placed by the class placement number along with any prizes. Placement signs will be spaced so as to maintain proper distancing. Steward will announce placings and absentees to ringside after each class. You will not be faulted if you choose to donate the ribbon back to the club by leaving it in the ring. 12. Catalog updates: The Judges worksheets and a marked catalog will be posted on the show secretary’s website as soon as possible after completion of judging. Steward will announce placings and absentees to ringside after each class. DO NOT ask the ring stewards, judges, or secretary for this information until after judging has completed for that event.
