Bards Alley Updates

On Friday, February 25, 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated health guidance that included new metrics for determining COVID-19 community levels. Based on this new guidance, Fairfax County’s current COVID-19 community level is low.

Based on these new metrics and CDC guidance, we will no longer be requiring masks for entry. Staff and patrons will be allowed to make a choice whether or not they will wear a mask starting Tuesday, March 1. However, we will continue to post signage requiring masks for unvaccinated individuals. 

As always, if you have come into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, or if you are experiencing COVID-like symptoms, out of respect and deference for our staff and community, please stay home.

We will continue to be vigilant regarding CDC guidelines, and will update these rules accordingly. Thank you for helping us keep our staff and community safe and healthy.
