Updated COVID Protocols and More

In accordance with federal, state, and local guidelines, and to provide a safe environment for our student-athletes, coaches, staff, and spectators, Gonzaga University Athletics has instituted the following policy related to fan attendance for all ticketed athletic events.
 
Fan Attendance
- Fans ages 12 and older are required to provide proof of vaccination, including a CDC-issued Vaccination Record Card (or photo of the card) to enter ticketed Athletic events.
- Fans ages 12 and older who cannot provide proof of vaccination may present proof of negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours instead of proof of vaccination.
Per the updated mandate from the Governor, a negative COVID-19 test result must include the original, a copy, or a photo of a document or other communication from the test provider or laboratory that shows:
a. The first and last names of the individual tested
b. The type of test performed (must be molecular or antigen)
c. The date the test was collected
d. A negative result

- Fans ages 11 and under do not need to provide proof of negative COVID-19 test.
- Fans over the age of 5, regardless of vaccination status, must wear face mask coverings over their nose and mouth while inside the venue.  Masks may be adjusted while actively eating or drinking.
- Gonzaga University students can show their valid University ID as proof of compliance with the University's COVID-19 campus vaccination policy. 
- This policy will be evaluated as federal, state, and local guidance is revised. 

The emergence of the highly contagious Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is raising concerns about increased transmission and the impact this is having upon our community and our health care system.  Mask-wearing has been scientifically demonstrated to reduce transmission in congregate settings, and opportunities to reduce mask-wearing create greater opportunity for viral transmission. 
 
We want to remind all attendees that the State has mandated that masks are to be worn at all times for event attendees regardless of vaccination status.  In addition to the current admittance requirement of proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test, Gonzaga University is encouraging eligible individuals to be fully vaccinated with boosters and follow all mandatory safety protocols to keep fans in The Kennel.
 
Gonzaga thanks fans for their continued support and understanding.
