Hello! This is to help clarify the July 1st re-opening rules that were sent out June 2nd, specifically about kids.

Æthelmearc is requiring everyone who is not fully vaccinated (so 2 weeks past the final dose) to wear a mask, as we are following CDC guidelines.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html

This includes children ages 2-11 years old.

We are going to enforce this (with everyone, not just kids) with kindness and empathy. Everyone should be kindly reminded to wear their masks if they are not vaccinated. Nobody other than a child’s parent should be yelling at their kids without masks. Parents should be reminded, gently, and with tolerance and understanding. Kids are going to kid – some of them are absolute Houdinis and ninjas and we need to be mindful as much as we can.

We are doing this because we are concerned for children’s safety as there are some very contagious variants out there that are affecting children.

If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please contact myself at seneschal@aethelmearc.org and Duke Christopher/Dr. Chadd Nesbit at pandemic@aethelmearc.org

Always,
Illadore de Bedegrayne
