Masks optional beginning April 18
April 1, 2022

ProAct participants, families, team members and stakeholders,

Over the past two years, ProAct has followed all COVID safety regulations and has adhered to mandated COVID restrictions for the safety of our participants and staff. Now, as those precautions and restrictions are starting to be lifted, we want to ensure the utmost safety of those we serve and employ as we begin to move forward to a more normal programming model once again.

On April 18, the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) mandate requiring people to wear masks in airports and on planes, buses and rail systems will be lifted. This aligns with Minnesota business and government agencies having already lifted their masking requirements last month.

ProAct will also make masking OPTIONAL at all locations effective on Monday, April 18.

  • This change will include participants, employees, and visitors; vaccinated or not.
  • It will be the decision of participant teams and families as to whether participants mask or not when at any ProAct service location.
  • We understand that teams and family members may not feel comfortable with ProAct’s decision to make masking optional and choose to have participants stay home. We respect that decision and encourage teams to consider switching to virtual programming while participants are out so they can continue to receive enrichment programming and have interactions with staff and other participants.
  • Staff and participants displaying COVID-19 symptoms and/or with a positive COVID-19 test result will be required to isolate at home for a period of 5 days or until asymptomatic.

Unfortunately, because of continued staffing issues, ProAct is unable to quickly bring back those participants wanting to return. Instead, we will be bringing participants back as staffing allows, but those having been out due to masking related issues will be a priority. New referrals will be enrolled into ProAct services once all current participants have returned.

We thank you for your support and patience during this transition period. Please know we continue to prioritize the safety of participants and staff and will maintain our enhanced cleaning and disinfecting process indefinitely.
