Children under 12, and those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons 

Children can contract, transmit and become ill with COVID-19 though the risk for serious health outcomes is lower than older populations.  If you are fully vaccinated, all activities with children will be considered lower risk.  

COVID-19 testing will still be available.  Testing locations and hours may depend on local rates of transmission and demand.  Contact tracing is a common practice for disease investigation and will continue for COVID-19.  Cases and close contacts who are not fully immunized may be advised to isolate by public health officials.  Individuals should follow all advice provided by public health officials.
