COVID-19 : KEEPING YOU AND YOUR GUESTS SAFE

---

We have always prided ourselves on maintaining a hygienic photo booth experience.   In order to keep you and your guests safe we have increased our usual hygiene protocols to keep you and your guests safe.

• All events must provide a copy of the approved waiver from the Government of Puerto Rico that authorizes the event to take place. (read below on how to obtain one)
• All Photo Booths will be fully sanitized during setup and pack down.
• When possible, we recommend that the photo booth be set up in a large room with plenty of ventilation.
• Should there be a line, we will place markers to maintain 6 feet of distance between guests.
• Guests will NOT be able to touch the photo booth – only the attendant will operate the photo booth.
• We will only attend events where the booth and attendant can be safely distanced from guests.
• Attendants will wear face masks at all times.
• Only attendants that are feeling well and have not travelled from any hotspots in the last 14 days will be at the event.
• As much as we love props and recognize the extra layer of fun they add to photo booths, we are temporarily providing a limited set of props.  (If the client/venue prefers no props, we will happily accommodate this).
• All props will be sanitized by the attendant often as possible.
• Hand sanitizer will be provided for guests, to use before and after the photo booth, particularly if handling props.
• We will remind your guests to use the hand sanitizer provided, social distance and ask for your cooperation in keeping each other safe.

Our staff will be scanned to ensure they have not been in contact with anyone testing positive for COVID-19, have not been showing symptoms such as fever, cough, fatigue, sore throat, headache, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, chest pain and all other symptoms associated with COVID-19.  We provide our staff with sanitation products such as hand sanitizer, commercial-grade disinfectant wipes and facial masks.   All our staff has been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by 4/24/2021.

Waiver for Events in Puerto Rico

In case your event is scheduled to take place in the next few months, then you need a waiver. Requesting, and receiving a waiver, does not mean that the event can take place as it would have occurred in the absence of an Executive Order.

Instead, the rules of the Executive Order must be met in terms of capacity for the premises (30% of capacity at the time of this writing), distance measures, cleaning and disinfection, and use of masks, among others. Also the events will be limited to less amount of time. Failure to comply with these measures can lead to fines or legal sanctions.

What should go on the waiver?

The coordinator, local, or client must provide the following information in their waiver:

• Event type
• Date and time
• Number of invites.  (This amount must comply with the capacity parameters of the venue, within the current Executive Order,  including the suppliers of the event)
• Local information
• Description of all the security protocols for handling COVID-19,  attach a Certificate of Compliance from the premises, or Employer Self-Certification by the Department of Labor and Human Resources (OSHA).
• The request letter should be sent to the email of Mrs. Noelia García Bardales, Secretary of the Government: ngarcia@fortaleza.pr.gov.

Large Groups

If you have an event with more than 50 guests, don’t fret! Our team will ensure social distancing line ups are implemented. We will guide the guests to line up and wait their turn to ensure the 6 feet distance is followed. In order to keep everyone safe, group photos must not exceed the maximum number of 5 guests per photo.  All guidelines will be written and available to read while guests wait in line. 

Printed Photos and Social Media Sharing

Our staff will be solely responsible for operating and touching the photo booth. This will ensure there is little to no cross-contamination of hands and bodily fluids. Our team will provide you with your printed photos, as well as guide you on how to access the online gallery instantly on your own mobile devices. 

With these best practices in place, we believe our guests will be safely able to enjoy the photo booth and share the good times.    We are totally open to hearing any additional safety ideas from you.  

The safety of our clients and staff is still our top priority.  We thank you for your continued cooperation and support as we continue to serve you!
