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 youth currently have COVID in the facility and how many people in the local county have been admitted into the hospital for COVID-19.
OYA will check the risk levels weekly. If there's a COVID outbreak in a facility or the number of hospital admissions increase in the community, facilities will require masks or other precautions again.
