UNDER GEORGIA LAW, THERE IS NO LIABILITY FOR ANY INJURY OR DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL ENTERING THESEE PREMISES IF SUCH INJURY OR DEATH RESULTS FROM THE INHERENT RISK OF CONTRACTING COVID-19.  YOU ARE ASSUMING THIS RISK BY ENTERING THESE PREMISIS.

Dear Homeowners & Residents:

 
The ShiRec Board of Directors is committed to communicating with the owners and community residents as we navigate through the Covid-19 pandemic and sharing any updates that could affect the clubhouse and grounds. 

During this unprecedented time, we have been working to ensure we maintain the facility and grounds to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.  We realize people in the community have been in lockdown mode and are looking forward to getting out and would like to utilize the pool and facility.

  After reviewing documents from the attorney and upon review and consideration of the state and local health and safety protocols, we will open the pool and clubhouse but with restrictions.  

 The clubhouse will be available for rental to homeowners and non-homeowners.  To ensure we are following state and local guidelines, the board will require professional cleaning after each rental.  This will be performed by a professional cleaning service that provides service Monday through Saturday for $325 per cleaning and the renter is responsible for this cost in addition to the rental fee.  This service will help to mitigate any risk. 

 
We have attached a copy of the state guidelines to ensure you are aware of the requirements we must follow:

 Mitigation Measures Still Required
 
All Organizations in Georgia, which include community associations, that continue in-person operations must continue to implement measures which mitigate the exposure and spread of COVID-19. Such measures may include the measures listed in Georgia COVID-19 Pandemic Business Safety Act ​https://www.legis.ga.gov/api/legislation/document/20192020/195211
