You understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at City facilities, programs, and activities may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of yourself and others, including but not limited to the Released Parties, volunteers, and program participants and their families, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any City facilities, programs, or activities.

    8.
