August Newsletter
*Updated County Mask Policy*

New information about transmission of the COVID-19 Delta variant makes clear that while vaccines are effective in preventing serious illness and death, vaccinated people can shed the virus at levels high enough to infect others. That is why the CDC recommended that jurisdictions with more than 50 new cases per 100,000 people per week, or an average daily case rate of 7 per 100,000, require masks indoors in public spaces for everyone, regardless of vaccination status. Unfortunately, our county’s case rate rose to that level at the end of last week. 

As a result, effective Thursday August 5, 2021, all county employees and public visitors will be required to wear masks in all county buildings, regardless of vaccination status.
