This is a courtesy for those who are vulnerable to infection and its long-term consequences. We will also continue to keep up with routine disinfecting/ enhanced cleaning measures, make available hand sanitizing stations throughout our venues, and the use of Merv 13 filters for our HVAC systems, when possible, at KAF venues.
