Dear Esther,

As of May 15th, masks will be optional for all staff and participants on all Arc campuses and for all activities (both indoor and outdoor).

Following California's decision to no longer require face masks to be worn in healthcare facilities and other high-risk settings, The Arc San Francisco has determined that it is safe to follow this guidance and make masking optional.

There are no changes to the following policies:

• If you have COVID symptoms or feel sick, get tested immediately.
• In the event that you test positive for COVID-19, please stay at home for 5 days, regardless of whether you provide in-person service. If you feel better after 5 days, you may return to programming.

Even if you test negative or are not sick with COVID, you should stay home if you feel unwell.

No change in vaccination requirement:

Initial vaccination + 1 booster is still required for in-person services.

You may still have to wear a mask at programs from time to time:

• If you have spent time with someone who tests positive for COVID-19, you can continue working in person for 10 days while wearing a mask around others.
• Test on day 5 (or sooner if you have symptoms): if negative, continue to wear a mask until day 10. If positive, stay home for 5 days.

You must still report any COVID exposure to your Service Manager.
