***UPDATED COVID PROTOCOL FOR GDAA EVENTS***
In accordance with the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Ohio Department of Health masks/face coverings will no longer be required by GDAA for vaccinated individuals. Unvaccinated people are strongly encouraged to continue mask wearing, and all individuals should take appropriate measures to protect their health. By attending an event, you are confirming that you aren't sick or showing symptoms of any communicable disease.
- If you are fully vaccinated, you can participate in many of the activities that you did before the pandemic.
- To maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others, wear a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission.
- Wearing a mask is most important if you have a weakened immune system or if, because of your age or an underlying medical condition, you are at increased risk for severe disease, or if someone in your household has a weakened immune system, is at increased risk for severe disease, or is unvaccinated. If this applies to you or your household, you might choose to wear a mask regardless of the level of transmission in your area.
- You should continue to wear a mask where required by laws, rules, regulations, or local guidance.
We reserve the right to amend or reinstate protocols deemed appropriate or recommended by the CDC or other relevant authorities.
