COVID-19 continues to circulate in our communities and poses a risk especially for those who are not fully vaccinated against the virus. When people wear a mask correctly, they protect others as well as themselves.
It is required that everyone 2 years of age and older wear a mask, regardless of their vaccination status, in most indoor public settings and businesses.
Some people should not wear a mask, such as children younger than 2 and people with certain medical conditions or disabilities.

You may choose to wear a mask in outdoor crowded settings, and in non-public indoor settings, like a private residence, when you are around people who may be unvaccinated, elderly, or immunocompromised. While fully vaccinated people are well-protected from severe illness due to variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, they may get asymptomatic or mild infections. To protect everyone, wear a mask to help slow the spread of the virus.
