City maintaining most covid protocols for now

In light of Gov. John Carney’s announcement that the state’s universal indoor mask mandate will expire at 8 am Friday, February 11, the City of Rehoboth Beach has adjusted its mask requirements slightly. Beginning Friday, vaccinated employees will no longer be required to wear a mask while at work. However, all members of the public will still be required to wear a mask when entering city facilities, and employees who are unvaccinated also must wear a mask or work individually with their office door closed.

In addition, the city’s commissions, boards, committees, and task forces will continue to meet virtually with members of the public permitted to “attend” and speak at meetings virtually only.

“We will continue to monitor covid-related data on a regular basis and further adjust our policies as warranted,” says City Manager Sharon Lynn. “We are moving forward cautiously to ensure the continued safety and good health of our employees and others who come to city facilities.”
