At the Feb. 24 park dis-

members agreed to follow
the state’s school guide-
lines for in-school masking
at park district facilities —
at that time, March 31.
In-school masking was
lifted for state schools
March 11 as hospitaliza-
tions drop and are projected
to reach levels below those
at the start of the Omicron
surge.
New procedures for
schools are outlined in an
updated resiliency frame-

Education.
The Seaside School
District, acting on direc-
tion from the education
department and the Oregon
Health Authority, lifted
indoor mask mandates
beginning March 14.
Quarantining will no
longer be recommended
for individuals who have
been exposed to COVID,
Archibald
said.
“We
encourage those feeling ill
to stay home to protect the
vulnerable populations we
serve.”
If an employee or indi-
vidual has COVID or
likely symptoms, they
are urged to isolate them-
selves from others for fi ve
days and wear a mask for
another fi ve days when
around others.
“If you haven’t been
vaccinated or boosted,
we encourage you to take
these steps to provide you
with additional protection
and slow the transmission
of COVID,” Archibald
said.
