Updated NYFA LA Production Guidelines

October 30, 2020 - 10:30am

Dear NYFA LA Students,

With the continuing need to minimize the spread of COVID-19, effective Monday, November 9th, NYFA LA is instituting the below guidelines for off-site production workshops and off-site individual student productions, in addition to Appendix I of the COVID Safety Plan
  1. All students are required to take a COVID-19 test 2-6 days before each off-site production (PW or Individual Student Production) and provide the negative test results to covidteamla@nyfa.edu by 4:00pm one business day prior to the start of your production. Productions on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday should submit their test results the prior Friday no later than 4:00pm. The only acceptable test is a SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Diagnostic Test. Please refer to our latest LA Campus Update for links to various testing sites around Los Angeles County. 
  2. Students are still required to self-quarantine for 14 days prior to their first day of off-site production or in-person class. However, students no longer need to track these 14 days in the NYFA COVID-19 Symptom Tracker App.
  3. Students must continue to meet the existing requirements of completing the COVID-19 Safety Training on the Hub and logging daily symptoms in the NYFA COVID-19 Symptom Tracker App on their days of off-site production. 
Please also review Appendix I of the COVID Safety Plan as further changes have been made on an institutional level regarding off-site productions. 

Though these new policies will further reduce the risk of virus transmission during production, it does not eliminate the risk of becoming infected with SARS-CoV2 while on set. Students are expected to practice safe physical distancing and personal hygiene on set.

These changes will go into effect for any productions occurring on Monday, November 9th or later. If you are part of a production prior to November 9th, you must follow at a minimum the previous guidelines, but are encouraged to, if possible, follow these new guidelines.  

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Brad Benhain
Director of Operations, Los Angeles Campus
