Dear Family and Friends of South Cove Manor:
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), recommended a movement away from masks mandates for all vaccinated individuals. Today, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker held a press conference where he announced that as of May 29th, masks will no longer be mandated for fully vaccinated individuals indoors. In addition, Governor Baker also indicated that all COVID-related restrictions will be lifted as of May 29th.
While this is an incredibly exciting milestone for all of us, I need to highlight one caveat that will continue to affect all of you receiving this notice. Health Care facilities like South Cove will be required to continue to mandate mask use inside our buildings, regardless of vaccination status. That mandate applies to our residents, our staff, and to our visitors. I am hopeful that these requirements will be modified at some point in the future, but as of today, they remain in place.
Please understand that these restrictions are mandated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and not by South Cove. We all appreciate your cooperation with these requirements.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to Li Chen or I with any questions that you may have.
Thank you again for placing your trust in South Cove Manor.
