Mask Mandate Update
Updated: OR has announced the state will lift the mask mandate March 12th in accordance with the CDC’s community spread scale. This means Fulcrum Fitness will have an updated policy by March 26th.
As many of you may have already read, the mask mandate will be lifted in Oregon by March 31st.
We want to take this opportunity to share conversations we’ve been having internally about this change. We feel it is the best approach for us to take some time to see what happens with the mask mandate being lifted before making any changes. We’d like to see how it affects cases, exposure, and if it's something that seems like it's going to stay in place.
These last couple years we have been put in positions where we have had to close, then reopen, then close again, masks on, masks off, masks back on again. These types of big changes are not easy to implement and when they change so quickly and so often it puts strain on our operation and staff.
We are planning to keep masks on for at least 2 weeks after the mandate is lifted and continuously evaluate the situation from there to decide what's best moving forward.
We understand there are a variety of thoughts around this. Many of us are excited at the prospect of seeing smiling faces again, some are concerned that this may be too much too soon, and many more somewhere in the middle. Now, like many times in the past few years, we don’t have the exact right answer. Just like you were trying to navigate what often feels like a new world.
While we cannot promise a quick or completely correct response, we can say this. The Fulcrum team is committed to your health and wellbeing. And we will be as open and transparent as possible about decisions we make.
If you would like to share anything with us please let us know below. This is an anonymous form, so if you would like a response from our team please include your name and email address in your message.
Keep kicking-ass,
The Fulcrum Team
