Masks are Optional for All Ages and in all Mosaic Corporate Gatherings

The CDC has recently updated their guidance regarding masks.

It is no longer necessary to wear a mask inside for Jefferson County. The leadership at Mosaic Birmingham alongside of our Medical Advisory Team feel that it is no longer necessary for us to require mask at this time for Mosaic gatherings.

We have been navigating and living with COVID and the effects of a global pandemic for nearly two years now, and our priority since the very beginning has been the health and well-being of our community and our neighbors. We have done our best to pay attention to both metrics and mission while adapting the way we do things as the pandemic has morphed and changed.

It is worth stating that there are many good reasons that an attendee would choose to still wear a mask. Masks will be optional, but not discouraged. We encourage every person to do what you think is best for you and your immediate circle of friends, family, and co-workers. CDC suggest that if you are at high risk for severe illness, talk to your healthcare provider about whether you need to wear a mask and take other precautions.

In a moment like this, and in a time like now, as a community it is more important than ever to show charity and hospitality to one another and to extend understanding and honor to every member of our community. We acknowledge that this change meets each member in our community differently. To some this might seem long overdue and others might believe it’s still too soon. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, we would ask you to continue to respect and support one another as we make this transition.
