Please explain <br />measures taken by <br />your organization to <br />mitigate the spread <br />of COVID-19. <br />From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, The COT has prioritized <br />the safety of its staff, artists, and patrons to help mitigate the spread <br />of the v irus. After cancelling all artistic ev ents at the end of the 19-20 <br />Season, The COT put in place strict safety protocols for its 20-21 <br />Season, following all federal, state, and county mandates. It was <br />decided that all 20-21 Season performances would be filmed for <br />online release. No performances were giv en for a liv e audience <br />except for the season finale in May 2021, which was held outdoors at <br />the NC Museum of Art. Both during rehearsal and performances, <br />artists were socially distanced and wore protectiv e masks when <br />possible. Air filters, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant wipes were <br />present at all ev ents, and spaces were occupied for no longer than <br />45 minutes at a time, allowing for air to clear. Ov er the course of the <br />20-21 Season, no cases of COVID-19 were reported in connection <br />with COT ev ents. <br />For the upcoming 21-22 Season, The COT will continue to enforce <br />federal, state, and county protocols while also requiring that all staff, <br />artists, and patrons show proof of v accination or of a negativ e COVID <br />test prior to any COT ev ent. <br />COVID-19 IMPACT <br />DATA <br />This data is for the OCAC's informational purposes only and may or <br />may not be applicable to your organization depending on your <br />structure. <br />Number of Staff <br />Eliminated since <br />March 15, 2020 <br />0 <br />Number of Staff <br />Positions <br />Furloughed/Hours <br />Reduced since <br />March 15, 2020 <br />0 <br />Number of Public <br />Events Cancelled <br />since March 15, <br />2020 <br />52 <br />Total Lost <br />Attendance since <br />March 15, 2020 <br />8500 <br />Number of Artists <br />paid during calendar <br />year 2019 <br />57 <br />Number of Artists <br />paid during calendar <br />year 2020 <br />46 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 09E25CC7-BD28-49BF-B26F-2BC77F7B3E1A
