• Follow the CDC guidelines on what to do if you get sick.

• Please follow the guidance of the testing facility, urgent care or hospital that you visited in order to best protect yourself, as well as the community. The facility at which you test positive will notify the Department of Health, if deemed necessary by local guidelines for contact tracing purposes.
• Please email peopleops@databricks.com to let us know. While we will need to let event participants know that someone onsite tested positive for COVID-19, we will not disclose your name. We will ask attendees to monitor their own symptoms and follow CDC recommendations on what to do if they may have been around a person who had COVID-19.

We do not feel that having employees “report” others with apparent symptoms (which could also be allergies, a cold, etc.) comports with the spirit of the event. We encourage employees to show regard for the safety of others in the community, by self-reporting any symptoms they themselves may have. The event staff will also be monitoring anything irregular onsite and handle it directly with employees, as needed.
