Subject: Update: Mask Order FAQ

Good evening,

An update has posted to the Secretary of Health’s Mask Order FAQ<https://www.doh.wa.gov/Portals/1/Documents/1600/coronavirus/820-202-MaskOrderFAQ.pdf>. Of particular relevance to you, we have added a question to address your request for clarification. The question appears on page 10, I’ve included the language below for ease of reference:

I work at a fully vaccinated higher education campus, do I have to wear my mask while I lecture?
Similar to leading religious services, when actively lecturing you may remove your mask if you are speaking at a fully vaccinated campus and able to maintain physical distance from all observers, like in a large lecture hall, for example. Per the Secretary’s order, all others in attendance must be masked when indoors. DOH recommends lecturers consider all other alternatives before unmasking, e.g., using a microphone while remaining masked.

The masking in performing arts for parity with sports continues to be considered for a potential future update. I will circle back with you all if an update is made.

Thank you for your partnership, please continue to reach out at any time as you need.
