The Washtenaw County Health Department (WCHD) has issued a Covid-19 Advisory based on the rising level of transmission of COVID-19 cases in our local area. The county has reached a “Substantial” level of COVID-19 transmission, as defined in the CDC Covid Data Tracker.
As a result, WCHD strongly recommends masking for anyone in indoor, public spaces regardless of vaccination status. Moreover, due to the circulating Delta variant, CDC recommends universal indoor masking by all children (age 2 and older). To further reduce transmission and preserve the health and safety of our community, Liberty Athletic Club requests all members and employees to follow these public health recommendations.
