COVID-19 Precautions

MASKING POLICY

 Effective Friday, October 7, 2022, we will use the CDC’s community transmission levels to set our masking policy for each week. The CDC currently uses the levels of High, Substantial, Moderate, or Low, which will affect our masking status as follows:

• HIGH = Masking REQUIRED
• SUBSTANTIAL, MODERATE, or LOW = Masking STRONGLY ENCOURAGED

The masking status will be in effect at all our locations (Richland Center, Spring Green, and Muscoda), and there will be signs to alert you to the weekly transmission level/masking status. You can choose to remain masked at all times.

Our Visitor Policy has not changed at this time (see below).

We ask for your cooperation as we continue to navigate COVID-19 and new guidelines. Thank you.
