CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATE
Washington HOSA is carefully monitoring the evolution of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in Washington State via guidance provided by the Spokane County Health Department, Washington State Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control. We are following guidelines for in-person interaction from them and have implemented additional measures based on the unique composition of our competitive events (i.e. no handshaking, etc) at our State Leadership Conference scheduled for Thursday, March 5-7, 2020.
The decision for a student or chapter to attend or not attend the State Leadership Conference belongs to parents, schools, and school districts. If directed by Spokane County Health Department, Washington State Department of Health, City of Spokane and/or the Centers for Disease Control to cancel the conference, we would immediately follow the directive and communicate to stakeholders.
State Leadership Conference UPDATE
As the WA HOSA State Leadership Conference comes to a close today, we would like to thank everyone for their help as we navigated these unique and unchartered territory. Our amazing workshops were enjoyed by many and our competitive events were completed. This morning we will again be live streaming the Awards Session. For those unable to attend, we will be sending any awards your chapter members may win next week along with your registration materials. 3/7/2020
Large gatherings are of special concern right now, so we wanted to update you. We have been in contact with the Spokane Regional Health District this morning, and with their support we are continuing with the conference. As a friendly reminder we would like your help to ensure those attending with you have no respiratory symptoms nor a fever. Please discuss the universal recommended precautions of frequent handwashing along with covering sneezes and coughs again with your chapter. We are working on options to live stream Opening and Closing sessions and will do our best to make this happen by tonight for those of you unable to attend.
We know we have students around the state that have spent a tremendous amount of time preparing for events. In an effort to ensure access and equity for all competitors, we regret to inform you Washington HOSA is not prepared at this point to judge competitive events remotely.
We will be examining each event as we progress through this year’s SLC, to determine how we could make it possible for future conferences if it is ever needed.
We have received multiple inquiries regarding team events. We are planning to make every effort to enable students to compete here in Spokane. With the support of National HOSA, teams will be able to compete with less than the required amount of competitors.
For example, if there is a Medical Innovation team in which only one member travels to SLC, they may compete alone. If they advance to ILC, both members would then advance.
We have multiple solutions for other team events and will work with schools to determine what will work best for the group they bring. Please see us at registration if you need to make any team changes.
