No restrictions. We are allowing guests and party reservations. We need the $.

No guests, no parties, but no capacity restrictions or reservations for members. Seems ok. Masks required in restrooms.

Why? Are you not vaccinated?

Personally I would love all the crazy mask people to NOT go to the pool if it makes them uncomfortable. I am vaccinated so I have no worries. My kids are not, but they are outdoors where transmission is very low. I probably will not be allowing them to do indoor playing with other kids for a bit.


A voice of reason.

Many vaccinated people, unfortunately, do not understand how their vaccines work. So they continue to wear masks because they believe they can still get the disease and die, or that they can spread it. Neither is true.

As of next week the only restrictions our pool will have is a 150 capacity limit and no guests.

Fairly certain this is down to the preference of some of the board members rather than any genuine COVID concerns.

Ours dropped masking and is recommending[i] those who are not vaccinated wear a mask when coming/going or using the restroom.


+1 at our pool


Right. I don’t see any reason to be more strict than what the state is requiring.

Interesting. I’ve also seen places say “encouraged” which can easily be taken as “optional.”

VA does not require masks for those who are unvaccinated.


Since when? Per CDC guidelines unvaccinated need masks. I didn’t see Northam changed anything about that.


Since the mask mandate was dropped. The state guidelines say those who are not vaccinated should[i] wear a mask.

I recently attended a webinar that included Olivia McCormick from the VDH. I’m sure others here also attended. She pointed out a few times that “should” is not the same thing as “must”.

Here is the link to the webinar:

Outside?


I guess I have to dig through the many state documents. But, it seems our pool is "private business" and making it a thing.
