SALISBURY, Md. - Events at the Wicomico Civic Center are proceeding as planned.
The venue’s decision to proceed with scheduled shows and events was guided by expert information sourced from public health and government authorities.
“The safety and health of our guests is our top priority,” said Civic Center manager Katie Rouse. “After consulting with our local health department and emergency services officials, we feel comfortable proceeding with the events scheduled at the venue.”
Officials also took into consideration advice from Governor Larry Hogan and the International Association of Venue Managers.
In a press release issued on Thursday, Governor Larry Hogan stated, “Marylanders should go to work or go to school tomorrow just as they normally would. At the same time, I want to continue to remind everyone to prepare themselves and continue to stay informed.”
An email issued on Thursday from the International Association of Venue Managers stated, “While experts are saying to be prudent and practice best-health recommendations that are similar to the prevention of the seasonal flu, public health authorities are not saying there should be restrictions on business or leisure travel anywhere in the United States.”
Guests are encouraged to practice every day preventative actions recommended by the CDC, including:
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
The Civic Center is increasing sanitation efforts to prevent the spread of disease per the CDC’s recommendations.
Civic Center officials will continue to monitor the situation closely. Any updates will be shared with the press, as well as posted to the venue’s website (www.WicomicoCivicCenter.org) and social media channels.
use common sense. wash your hands and don't pick your nose.
ReplyDeleteWicomico County officials will bend under very little pressure and change their stance in the cancellation of events at civic center. However they will go to extremes and over react as usual.
Deletewell.....I pick my butt too
DeleteHaven’t been to the Civic Center since my last child graduated high school back in 2012.
ReplyDeleteThere will soon be a run on the sale of fencing masks and beekeeping hats when people realize how good they are at stopping them from touching their faces.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been to the Civic center in at least 23 years. No need to start now.
ReplyDeleteTheir Bingomania numbers have decreased since last year they were like every 2-3 mos the last one held was Feb 15th and none are on the schedule at all. This is the only thing I attend there not as good as the things they used to have years ago. There used to be Farm & Home Shows, crafts, more pet shows, entertainment, and children events, and this slow down is not due to the virus just poor scheduling.
