Indoor Mask Mandate Implemented to Prevent COVID spread
Last night the Maplewood Township Committee unanimously approved moving forward with a mandate requiring the use of a mask in all indoor public settings, businesses and public buildings effective immediately, with the exception of:
when eating/drinking
people under the age of two
those who are unable to wear a mask due to a medical condition.
Effective immediately any person attending an indoor Township sponsored event or private events that are open to the public will also be required to:
Show proof of COVID vaccination among eligible individuals, 5 years and older (two weeks after 2nd dose of Moderna, 2nd dose of Pfizer or 1 dose of Johnson and Johnson) with a vaccination card, using the DOCKET App or a picture of the vaccination card; OR
Show proof of a negative COVID test (can be an in-home test as long as there are no symptoms, otherwise a rapid antigen or PCR) 72 hours from event.
As we continue to be thoughtful regarding this pandemic especially taking into account the spread of the Omicron variant, our main goal continues to be the same, keep our community safe.
