Pandemic Protocols
Effective immediately – Due to recently released CDC Masking Guidelines, Linn County Public Health and The City of Cedar Rapids policy announcements – CRCO is relaxing our masking policy from Required to Optional (Your Choice). Members may opt to continue wearing masks, but are no longer mandated or required by the board. Should Linn County levels rise again to a Substantial or High (RED) rating by the CDC we may re-instate the mask policy. The following articles, published by The Gazette Friday and Saturday clarify our reasoning and rationale for this change.
