The District 7390 Safety Committee has published new COVID-19 risk mitigation guidance for clubs based on the latest recommendations from the CDC. Mask wearing is now recommended indoors for everyone regardless of vaccination status in areas with substantial or high transmission of COVID-19. Why? Even vaccinated individuals can acquire and transmit the highly contagious COVID-19 delta variant although rates of hospitalization and death are very low. “Substantial” transmission is defined as counties with COVID-19 positivity rates of greater than 5%. “High” transmission is defined as greater than 10% COVID-19 positivity rates. The latest rates can be found on the Pa Department of Health Early Warning Dashboard found at: https://bit.ly/37Xo7sM This week all the counties in District 7390 are either at a “Substantial” or “High” rate of COVID-19 transmission. (Adams 6.4%, Cumberland 7.6%, Dauphin 10.5%, Lancaster 8.0%, Lebanon 7.7%, Perry 12.2%, York 7.1%.) With the Delta Variant, vaccination is more urgent than ever. Read more at: https://bit.ly/3yyuz4W
