Health and Safety Update: Mask-optional starting April 1, 2022

MakerspaceCT will shift to mask-optional status for all members, students, staff, and visitors effective Friday, April 1, 2022.

Guidance and data from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the CT Department of Public Health (DPH) indicate that facilities may operate safely without a universal masking requirement.

Please continue to keep these important considerations in mind:

• Masks are still recommended to protect your respiratory system when working in all shops where there is a risk for dust exposure.

• If you test positive for COVID-19, or if you are identified as a close contact of someone with COVID-19, please follow the current CDC guidelines and make sure you have completed all necessary steps, or completed the recommended quarantine, before returning to MakerspaceCT.

• As always, it’s extremely important that you do not come to MakerspaceCT if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fever of 100.0°F or above, or feeling feverish
  • New uncontrolled cough
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Chills
  • Other significant symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, congestion that are different from your baseline health
