Effective March 2, 2022, masks will be optional for everyone throughout the Rye YMCA, as per CDC, OCFS and New York State’s new guidance.
The CDC updated its guidance on February 25, 2022 to reflect the declining numbers of cases in many areas of the country. Indoor masking is no longer necessary in counties with low transmission rates. This includes Westchester County. (
