The CDC’s guidance for child care facilities at this time still recommends universal masking for children age 2 and older and staff regardless of vaccination status, specifically:
- “Indoors: CDC recommends universal masking in ECE programs for everyone two years of age and older, regardless of vaccination status.
- Outdoors: In general, people do not need to wear masks when outdoors. CDC recommends that people age 2 and older who are not fully vaccinated wear a mask in crowded outdoor settings or during activities that involve sustained close contact with other people.”
We will continue to follow the guidance from the CDC.
