Daily testing is strongly encouraged.\nUnvaccinated attendees\, or attendees not up to date\, will be allowed to attend\, but will be required to:\n\n\nWear a KN-95 or N-95 mask\, or\nTest negative within 24 hours of the event AND also test negative daily\, if the meeting is for extended days\n\nAs part of our public heath authority responsibilities\, we will continue to provide education\, offer PPE\, rapid tests\, and continue to strongly encourage best practices.
