> Mask Policy at DBVI Richmond Campus:
> At the DBVI Forum early this week, Commissioner Hopkins announced that there are no longer any Covid-19 protocols per guidance from the Department of Labor and Industry.  The only thing that DBVI asks is that if people are not feeling well, they need to stay home.  If people want to wear masks, they are free to do so.  If they don’t want to wear masks, they are free to do so.
> We will establish a specific section of the room where masks are required so people who only want to sit with others wearing a mask feel more comfortable. Of course, individuals are also welcome to participate in the meeting via Zoom.
