The RSF continues to implement the most recent guidelines from spring 2022 where:

  • Masks are strongly recommended, but not required, indoors — regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status. (Masks are required during flu season if not vaccinated for flu.)
  • Outdoors, masks are optional for everyone
This might be subject to change, however, depending on COVID cases.
