[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are masks optional in Northern VA?  The state is under a K-12 mask mandate until Youngkin is inaugurated.  As far as I can tell, APS is bound by the Arlington health department (not CDC or VA Dept. of Health).  Arlington health department is unlikely to go mask optional.  The preschools/daycares are tripping over themselves to say they follow Arlington health department, so there we are.[/quote]

Note that I was referring to daycares only. For them, the State guidance and Fairfax guidance (the only two I could find) say that masks are "recommended" but not required for children under 5. Anecdotally, I've heard from many people who say that this translates to optional masking for children under 5 at their centers.
