Current Mask Status for Facilities
Face coverings/masks are optional for staff, volunteers, and visitors at low-risk OYA facilities. Low-risk is defined by how many people currently have COVID in the facility and in the community around the facility.
There are three exceptions for OYA staff:
- Masks are still required in all healthcare settings, including OYA's facility clinics.
- Masks are required in quarantine and medical isolation areas.
- Masks are required for OYA employees who are transporting youth in a state vehicle.
OYA will check the risk levels weekly. If there's a COVID outbreak in a facility or the number of cases increases in the community, facilities will require masks or other precautions again.
