Masks back on in national park
The Daily Progress ^ | Aug 21, 2022 | STAFF REPORTS

Posted on 08/23/2022 2:55:42 PM PDT by conservative98

asks are returning to the Skyline Drive.

Citing high community transition rates of COVID-19 in and around the Shenandoah National Park, officials say they will follow National Park Service policy and CDC guidance by requiring face masks be worn in all Shenandoah National Park buildings.

The ruling takes effect Monday, August 22, 2022.

“We monitor local community levels and respond when transmission levels are high,” Park Superintendent Pat Kenney said. “The trigger to require masking is when the majority of the counties that the park resides in move into high transmission status.”

The CDC community levels are released weekly and adjustments in requirements will be made accordingly, he said.

Officials said the change means all individuals over the age of two must wear masks, regardless of vaccination status, while in common areas and shared workspaces in buildings owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the National Park Service.

That includes park visitor centers, administrative offices, lodges, gift shops, and restaurants.

Masks must cover the nose and mouth and fit snugly around the nose and chin with no large gaps around the sides of the face. Masks not designed to be protective, masks with ventilation valves, and face shields do not meet the requirement.

1) They recognize that the mRNA injections are useless (at best)

2) Now they need to recognize that the face diapers are useless (at best).

The PridePox celebration event is okay because it’s outdoors.

Actual social distancing for 100% contagion avoidance is really 38 feet. But people wouldn’t have stood for it so they compromised at 6 ft.

f you people, I will not put a mask under my chin, I fold it in half to cover my mouth and I leave gaps on the side so I can breath. I’d never set foot on this govetnment property. There are plenty of places to spend my money where my smile is appreciated.
