An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. Although Great Lakes Women’s Business Council has instituted reasonable practices in an attempt to lessen or reduce the spread of COVID-19, Great Lakes Women’s Business Council cannot guarantee that you will never get exposed to the virus or get sick from it. By attending Great Lakes Women’s Business Council’s Women’s Business Conference, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
