On Wednesday, February 23, the agency will no longer require that masks be worn. This seems to be a prudent step for us to take at this time, but as before, this could change at any time.
While you are not required to wear a mask, if you feel more comfortable wearing one you are free to do so. In addition, employees may choose to wear a mask when working with clients – whether at the office or in the community – in order to feel more comfortable.
All other aspects of the protocols we have in place to keep the workplace safe are unchanged. Doors will remain locked, cleaning routines will continue and visitors are still required to have an employee escort them when coming or going from the building.
If you have any questions about the change in masking requirements or any of the other guidelines please follow up with your supervisor and/or director.
