Over the weekend, San Francisco moved into the "Purple Tier," the state's most restrictive tier for COVID-19, and as a result, the Mayor and Department of Public Health announced a new set of restrictions that impact Circus Center. Fortunately, most of our current activities are still permitted, and the Board has given us authorization to continue while we monitor the situation daily.
Our activities for youth under 18 are considered Out of School Time programs, which are permitted on page 18 of the current Health Order.
Our activities for adults 18 and over are governed by the rules for gyms. We are currently offering private lessons, solo training, and supervised flying trapeze, and these are still permitted according to page 33 of Appendix C-1 to the current Health Order.
The health and safety of our teachers and students is our highest priority, and we will continue our adherence to all city and state public health and safety recommendations. We will also keep offering over 50 online classes per week for adults, and we'll be introducing online versions of our youth programming in 2021.
Your support of Circus Center helps us keep providing access to the best-possible circus training during these difficult times. We are grateful for your support, and we look forward to seeing you again soon, whether online or in person.
