Because COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is spread mainly from person-to-person contact, NDTMA has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, NDTMA cannot guarantee that its participants, volunteers, partners, or others in attendance will not become infected with COVID-19.
