August 2, 2021 Update

C3 Community!

We were originally planning to move to optional masking for vaccinated members as of 8/2/2021 but unfortunately, Suffolk County moved from moderate to substantial COVID transmission which was our internal cutoff to reinstate the masking policy. This rate of transmission is also when the CDC recommends masking even if fully vaccinated.

With this news in mind, we have decided to take a step back on our optional masking policy before we really began. We hope that in making this choice to return to required masks we are doing our part to mitigate this third wave caused by the Delta variant and that we will help keep our community safe in the midst of new cases (breakthrough and not) in our city and the surrounding area.

We also urge students to keep vigilant and continue to monitor themselves for symptoms and stay home if they are sick. Please let us know immediately if you have been exposed to someone with COVID even if you are vaccinated.

We will not be changing any other policies at this time and will continue to monitor the situation and follow the science and the CDC guidance on what our next steps should be. We will continue to send updates as we have them.
