- Provides updated links to CDC guidance on vaccines and masks;
- Includes a new section on “Vaccinations and Testing,” strongly encouraging everyone to get vaccinated if they are eligible and strongly encouraging employers to require regular COVID-19 testing for all unvaccinated employees, including those who are asymptomatic;
- Highly recommends masks in all indoor settings that are open to the public regardless of whether you are vaccinated; and
- Highly recommends masks in other circumstances that conform with CDC guidance for areas with high transmission rates (i.e., Shelby County).
