The Reopening Taskforce has set criteria for making progress in reopening: We believe it  will be safe to move to optional masking when the CDC published statement of “Community Level” has been at “LOW” and “Transmission Level” has been at “MODERATE” or “LOW” for at least a week. At present, the Community Level is Medium, and the Transmission Level is High. Once the Task Force moves to optional masking, those who wish to continue to mask will always be welcome to do so.
