Currently, Current Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) guidelines do not require masks to be worn at the event, or on bus transportation to and from the event. We are, however, monitoring guidelines both for Cook County and in the school setting for changes which may affect this policy.
CCDPH continues to recommend masking with a well-fitting high-quality mask, such as a KN95 or N95 respirator, for those who are considered at high risk for severe COVID-19 illness when they are in public indoor spaces or other places where individuals near them may be unvaccinated.
