COVID protocol for CAMINO COPALITA 2022

 

Context: This protocol was born from an explicit request from the communities that belong to the Camino Copalita project.

Scope: This protocol is based on a code of honor and honesty. For the good of all please make responsible, honest, and intelligent decisions.

Responsibility: All travelers acknowledge that they accept the risk of traveling alongside other people, and will not hold anyone responsible for a possible contagion. Travelers also acknowledge that given the logistical difficulties of going to a health clinic, if someone had severe symptoms, it could take up to 2 days to reach a city with a health clinic.

Pre-trip measures:

1) You must get a negative antigen test done maximum 48 hours before the trip. And we need documented proof shared with us before the trip. We recommend a number of places in Oaxaca City:

2) Everyone will have to sign a disclaimer eliminating liability for Camino Copalita, and a declaration of being considered low risk due to the measures taken 2 weeks prior to the trip.

3) If you test positive 1-3 days before the trip, you can change your date with no cost, but we cannot offer a refund.

During the trip:

1) Mandatory use of mask whenever asked or if you have symptoms of COVID

2) In case of having COVID Symptoms:

a. Use of face masks mandatory at all times

b. Strict distancing of travelers and community members

c. When traveling by motorized transport, always do it in the trunk of the pickup

d. Don't go rafting

e. If the symptoms are not mild, we will look for the safest and easiest way to take you to Huatulco or Oaxaca, depending on where we are.

Post - Travel Measures:

1) In case of testing positive up to 10 days after the trip, you must notify Camino Copalita so that they notify all travelers and any community member with whom they have been in contact
