The board of the Seattle Go Center would like to update you on our COVID planning. Sadly, we have been closed for a year now, with only online gatherings for socializing, playing and discussing Go, and unrated tournaments. We all feel the desire to return to SGC and engage with our friends and community over Go.
The board continues to touch on COVID in each board meeting. We do not know now when or in what form we can open. We are not just a restaurant or card room because people float all over the room and reconfigure continuously. We don't have staff to constantly clean everything. We hope to have more clarity on vaccinations, re-opening metrics, and CDC/state guidelines in MAY so that we can form a plan for re-opening. I'm not saying we will re-open in MAY, only that we hope to form a plan for re-opening then.
As you can appreciate, we need to balance for people less risk-adverse who would convene now to play Go vs. other people, for example, who may require vaccinations for anyone entering the premises along with other health checks. We need to re-open in a way that the most people who would actually use the facility can feel safe in coming back to Seattle Go Center.
We hope for good trends and a well-lit path we can announce in MAY.
Cheers,
Bill
