City of Worcester Indoor Mask Mandate beginning 9/20/2021
As a result of the continued upward trend of cases and the emergence of the highly contagious Delta Variant and its impact on our community, the city of Worcester has imposed a mask mandate for indoor spaces starting Monday, September 20, 2021.
Per the city of Worcester’s emergency order, our Central Community Branch and our Greendale Family Branch will begin requiring face masks for ALL who enter our building on Monday, September 20th.
Beginning Monday, September 20, 2021, the following Face Mask Policy will take effect in our Worcester branches:
- ALL people, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a face mask or covering while inside the building. This policy aligns with the City of Worcester’s indoor mask mandate.
Precautions we continue to take to ensure health and safety at the Y:
- Cleaned and disinfected all surfaces with EPA-approved cleaners
- Ensured anti-bacterial agents are available for member use as needed
- Conducted staff training and established clear guidelines so that staff can help members stay healthy
- Created facility communications to relay program protocols
Thank you for your immense patience and for staying with us during these challenging times.
