As you are well aware, things change frequently in response to Covid-19. This is the information we have as of today, Friday, May 14, 2021. As you are likely aware, the CDC made some mask mandate changes this week; these may change what we need to do. Thus, we will keep watch on the protocols and keep you updated. For now, the above is what we expect.
