ROULETTE’S HEALTH & SAFETY PROTOCOLS

For over 40 years, Roulette has presented new and adventurous art to audiences interested in the evolution of experimental work. In order to continue pursuing our mission amidst the challenges and uncertainties presented by COVID-19, Roulette has created a robust safety plan outlining policies and protocols to protect the health and safety of our staff, contractors, performers, clients, and broader community.

As of April 1, 2022, vaccination and masks are recommended but no longer required to enter Roulette.

  • Inform your direct supervisor and Roulette’s Operations Director and Executive Director of your exposure date, test date, and results.
  • Monitor for symptoms; if they appear, follow the guidance above regarding experiencing symptoms.
  • Take a Covid-19 test 5 days after your exposure.

  • Contact your healthcare provider if you are more likely to get very sick because of being an older adult or having underlying medical conditions or if your symptoms get worse.

Positive Case with Symptoms

  • Stay home and isolate for 5 full days. Day 0 is your first day of symptoms.
  • After 5 full days, if you have been fever free for 24 hours and your other symptoms have improved, you may end isolation and return to work. Please wear a well-fitting mask at all times for an additional 5 days (i.e. until the 11th day after your initial exposure).
  • If you still have a fever after 5 days of isolation and/or your other symptoms have not improved, continue to stay home and isolate and contact your doctor for further guidance on when to end isolation. You must stay home until your symptoms improve and you have been fever free for at least 24 hours.

Positive Case with no Symptoms 

  • Stay home and isolate for 5 full days. Day 0 is the day the sample was collected for a positive test result.
  • If you tested positive but never developed symptoms, you may end isolation and return to work after 5 full days, provided you wear a mask at all times for an additional 5 days (i.e. until the 11th day after your initial exposure).
