5/23/2022 Update
Dane County's current COVID-19 Community Level is currently "Medium".
What this means for our event: At this level, the CDC recommends a number of strategies for our county, including encouraging people to stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and getting tested if they have symptoms. We will be putting together a Policies & Protocol document in the coming weeks that will outline steps you will need to take before departing for summer programs. Stay tuned for more information.
What this means for you: At medium community level, besides staying up to date on vaccines, the CDC states:
- If you are immunocompromised or at high risk for severe disease, talk to your health care provider about whether you should wear a mask in public.
- If you live with someone at high risk, or come in contact with people who are high risk, consider wearing a mask while indoors with them or using a home test before coming in contact with them.
- If you have symptoms or were exposed, be sure to get tested.
- See the Dane County Public Health Recommendations and Guidance page for additional considerations.
2/16/2022 Update
The Face Covering Emergency Order #7 that has been in effect as of February 1, 2022 will not be renewed and will expire as of March 1, 2022 at 12:01 am. Public Health Madison & Dane County will no longer require face coverings in public indoor spaces in light of steadily decreasing COVID-19 case rates and hospitalizations. Currently, an estimated 58% of Dane County residents are up to date on their vaccines, meaning a person has received all recommended COVID-19 vacciness, including boosters, when eligible.
We will continue to monitor things very closely and will be developing COVID protocols and guidelines to follow for all in-person Summer Program events. Stay tuned to this page for more updates as they emerge.
*Madison, Wisconsin is located in Dane County.
