VEs,
These are trying times with the pandemic affecting all activities of our society. Amateur Radio events, hamfests, VE Testing has been and continue to be canceled in 2021 nationwide. Everyone has their views regarding the pandemic and seem to be conducting their personal activities accordingly. Suitable concern and respect of others health and safety is of concern for the leadership of radio clubs and VE test teams nationwide.
In-person testing presents many health concerns to VE Teams and VE Candidates.
VE Teams do not know where candidates have been and with who they been in contact with. They may be bringing the COVID-19 virus to the test site and unknowingly sharing it with others. This presents concerns for all persons present in the test environment.
It may be prudent to Cancel all in-person VE Testing in Montague county for March, May and July 2021. Then in July determine if VE Testing continues in September and November 2021 or not.
73,
