Montgomery County Mask Update

Face Covering Guidance for Child Care Programs as of

October 28, 2021

Effective Thursday, October 28, Montgomery County no longer requires individuals to wear a mask or face coverings while in an indoor facility. This requirement was lifted as a result of the County’s improving community transmission rate of COVID-19.


Although the use of face coverings indoors is no longer required by the Board of Health, the following still applies:

  • CDC and MSDE guidelines continue to strongly recommend the use of face coverings indoors as well as in crowded outdoor settings where physical distancing cannot be maintained and for unvaccinated individuals. 
  • Child Care program staff and children must follow any applicable federal, state, or local face-covering requirements (ex. while on public transportation or in a County Public School).
  • Anyone with underlying conditions that may place them at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 is strongly encouraged to wear face coverings indoors as well as in crowded outdoor settings where physical distancing cannot be maintained


Despite this change, child care programs can continue to require children and staff to wear a mask in their programs.

Orientacion Sobre Cobertura Facial Para Programas de Cuidado Infantil A Partir del 28 de Octubre de 20210

A partir del jueves 28 de octubre, el condado de Montgomery ya no requiere que las personas usen una máscara o cubiertas faciales mientras se encuentran en una instalación interior. Este requisito se eliminó como resultado de la mejora de la tasa de transmisión comunitaria de COVID-19 en el condado.

 

Aunque la Junta de Salud ya no exige el uso de cubiertas faciales en interiores, se aplica lo siguiente:

  • Las pautas de los CDC y MSDE continúan recomendando el uso de cubiertas para la cara en interiores, así como en entornos exteriores donde no se puede mantener la distancia física y para las personas no vacunadas.
  • El personal del programa de cuidado infantil y los niños deben seguir todos los requisitos de cobertura facial federales, estatales o locales aplicables (como en el transporte público o en una escuela pública del condado).
  • Se recomienda a todas las personas con afecciones subyacentes que puedan ponerlas en mayor riesgo de contraer una enfermedad grave por COVID-19 a que se cubran la cara en interiores, así como en entornos exteriores donde no se puede mantener el distanciamiento físico.

 

A pesar de que se levantó el mandato, los programas de cuidado infantil pueden seguir exigiendo que los niños y profesores usen una mascarilla en sus programas.
