In response to the recent CDC guidelines on the use of masks indoors, and in compliance with the Illinois Governor’s Executive Order 2021-10, SSSRA is revising our mask use guidelines as follows:
– SSSRA participants who are fully vaccinated* do not need to wear a mask indoors or outdoors at the SSSRA office.
– Children ages 2 through 12 and all other individuals who are not fully vaccinated are required to wear a mask inside the SSSRA office.
– Children ages 2 through 12 and all other individuals who are not fully vaccinated are required to wear a mask outdoors while participating in SSSRA programs if they are unable to maintain social distancing of six-feet from others.
– SSSRA will follow all park district guidelines when participating at the park district facility.
– SSSRA participants and families are expected to be truthful about their vaccination status and follow the mask guidelines in accordance with their current vaccination status.
SSSRA Employees
– Employees who are fully vaccinated* do not need to wear a mask if they are working with participants ages 13 & older.
– Employees who are fully vaccinated* and working with children under the age of 12 may remove masks only when outdoors and able to maintain a social distance of six-feet from others.
– Employees who are not fully vaccinated are required to wear masks at all times in the SSSRA office and outdoors when unable to maintain a six-foot distance from others.
– Employees who are fully vaccinated* will provide proof of their status prior to working without a mask.
*Fully vaccinated means having received both doses of Pfizer or Moderna, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson, plus a two-week waiting period after the last dose.
All regions are under Phase 4. Below are the current litigations. We will continue to monitor and follow the Illinois recommendations.
