RESUMPTION OF 4-H IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES UPDATE
Your county may have more protective protocols in place. County protocols supersede the information presented here. Please contact your local County Extension 4-H Office with any questions.
On June 30, 2021, Governor Inslee reopened Washington State under the Washington Ready plan.
The Washington State 4-H Youth Development Program policy will now reference requirements set forth by the Washington State Department of Health’s K-12 COVID-19 Requirements for Summer 2021 and the 2021-2022 School Year document.
WHILE INDOORS, EVERYONE IS REQUIRED TO WEAR MASKS, REGARDLESS OF VACCINATION STATUS.
This change to policy is required to protect the safety of all and to model the behavior for youth, who are still required to wear masks.
If an activity is conducted outdoors, there is no requirement to wear masks. However, people should continue to practice physical distancing of six feet, if possible.
Refer to the graphic below, provided by the Washington State Department of Health, for guidance on when to wear a mask:
