Addendum to Waiver
By entering this facility, you are aware that you agree to fully accept all known and unknown risks, including the potential

exhaled respiratory droplets, most often through coughing and sneezing. These droplets can travel up to six feet and are
more commonly transmitted between persons rather than from equipment to persons.

distancing in our facility, you understand that you may be exposed to the coronavirus or its symptoms through no fault of
our own. Known coronavirus symptoms include fever, coughing, shortness of breath, pneumonia, kidney failure, and may
include other symptoms, stroke or even death (collectively "Symptoms"). You understand and agree that you will hold us
harmless and you will not hold us liable for any real or perceived Symptoms of COVID-19 or any other disease, illness, or
