SAFRE’s Mask Policy
Vaccinated Individuals:
Per CDC guidelines, with the level of transmissions increasing and with Wake County’s level of community transmission being listed as high on the CDC’s Data Tracker website, there has been an added recommendation for fully vaccinated people to wear a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high transmission. It is also suggested that fully vaccinated people might choose to wear a mask regardless of the level of transmission, particularly if they are immunocompromised or at increased risk for severe disease from COVID-19, or if they have someone in their household who is immunocompromised, at increased risk of severe disease or not fully vaccinated.
Unvaccinated Individuals:
Per CDC guidelines, those individuals who remain unvaccinated should wear masks indoors at all times, as well as outdoors when being socially distanced is not an option.
Raleigh Convention Center Cleaning Protocols:
The Raleigh Convention Center takes your safety very seriously. They have increased their already-stringent cleaning procedures in the wake of COVID-19 and have received their GBAC STAR™ accreditation.
