If you are experiencing symptoms of illness or if you have recently been in contact with others experiencing symptoms of illness, please do not come to our facility. Instead, please seek medical attention.

WHAT IS THE MASK POLICY OF THE YORK JCC?

Following recent collaboration with the JCC’s Medical Advisory Committee and Executive Leadership Team, the JCC made its mask policy optional for everyone at both campuses, including staff, effective Monday, February 28th. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 developments, and make any necessary adjustments along the way. Masks will be available throughout our facilities for your convenience.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION & CAMPS

After recent collaboration with the JCC’s Medical Advisory Committee, the purpose of this communication is to inform you that effective Monday, February 28; the JCC’s COVID-19 mask policy includes the provisions below.

  1. Masks are optional for parents, children and staff.
  2. Any child who tests positive for COVID-19 must remain home for a minimum of five days, and, prior to returning, must follow current JCC COVID-19 protocols, which include a physician’s written authorization to return. Upon return, the child must wear a mask for an additional five days.
  3. If a child is returning after a five-day COVID-19 quarantine, all parents in that classroom will be informed (child’s name withheld), so that they also can decide whether or not to have their children wear a mask.

The JCC’s current member policy (masks are strongly recommended), is now consistent with our new Early Childhood Education policy – that while masks are no longer mandatory, they are strongly recommended.

FAMILY SERVICES

Family Services Department (formerly JFS) will be reinstating some of its programs and services to elders, caregivers and individuals, while following all CDC guidelines to create a safe environment for both clients and volunteers.  Please call 717.843.5011 for more information.
