COVID19

COVID19 Guidelines

The Township of Maplewood understands that these changes and new rules may be difficult at first, however they are intended to mitigate contact between people in township-owned buildings to lower the spread of Covid-19. The Township of Maplewood cannot guarantee that individuals will not be exposed to COVID-19 while in township buildings, however, if we work together, we can offer performances, classes and events that are as safe as possible, and socially distanced.

Doors on both sides of the venue will be open for better ventilation, please make sure you were layers and weather appropriate clothing.
All patrons, participants and guests will have their temperature checked upon entering. Anyone who has a temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher will not be allowed to attend the performance, class or event.
All patrons and guests over the age of 2 must wear masks for the entire time that they are in the WOODLAND, including during the performance, class or event unless it is not medically feasible to do so. The mask must cover the mouth and nose. Patrons, participants and guests refusing to wear a mask will not be permitted to attend the performance, class or event and will not be eligible to receive a refund or exchange of ticket(s).
Please do not attend a performance, class or event if you are an "at-risk" individual:
- - exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, or
  - have been in contact with someone with symptoms within the past 14 days, or
  - traveled from an area with a travel advisory due to high COVID transmission rates
If you choose to attend a performance, class or event, then you are assuming all risks related to being exposed to COVID-19, and Woodland Management and The Township of Maplewood will not be held responsible.

Individuals and households who purchase or reserve tickets together may be seated together, however they must maintain six feet distance from all other groups or individuals in all directions.
All patrons must adhere to social distancing while attending a performance, class or event. Floor decals will indicate where you can stand. Patrons not adhering to the social distancing guidelines will not be permitted to attend the performance, class or event and may be asked to leave the venue.
