Everyone:

People can wear a mask based on personal preference, informed by their own personal level of risk.

Vulnerable people*:

Consider wearing a mask in crowded indoor public places.  Ensure your mask provides the best fit and filtration (respirators like N95s, KN95s and KN94s are best).

If you are a vulnerable person* or live with a vulnerable person*, consider taking additional precautions.

*Those that are vulnerable include the unvaccinated, those that are immunocompromised, have certain disabilities, or have underlying health conditions, and those at risk of severe illness of death if they are infected with COVID-19.  Such persons should consider taking extra precautions.

The following individuals are NOT REQUIRED to wear a mask (CDPH):

-  Persons who are actively eating and/or drinking.

The following individuals are exempt from wearing masks at all times (CDPH):

- Persons younger than two years old. Very young children must not wear a mask because of the risk of suffocation.

- Persons with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that prevents wearing a mask. This includes persons with a medical condition for whom wearing a mask could obstruct breathing or who are unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove a mask without assistance.

- Persons who are hearing impaired, or communicating with a person who is hearing impaired, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication.

Given mandates are actively changing, we aim to operate within local, state, and CDC mandates. We reserve the right to recommended attendees to be fully vaccinated or obtain a negative COVID-19 test before arriving at the event,  should County of Sacramento mandates require this in October.
