“How long will these safety measures remain in effect?”
The short answer is, as long as prudent and necessary. The long answer is a little more complicated. Although several vaccines have been been developed and are being deployed, it may be several months before we reach "herd immunity," which means enough people have immunity, either from vaccination or past infection, to stop the uncontrolled spread. We will continue to err on the side of caution and are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for everyone who enters our facility.
