Dancers who test positive for COVID-19 are asked to share that with MBC so we can follow current quarantine guidelines and protocols.
MDH is encouraging youth organizations to participate in regular COVID-19 testing every two weeks as another measure to prevent the spread of this highly infectious disease. While this is not required it is another way to help stop the spread. COVID-19 Testing – Minnesota Dept. of Health (state.mn.us)

MBC Mask Policy

At this time, mandatory masking will not be required. The CDC highly recommends only those who are fully vaccinated remove masks. The definition of fully vaccinated is two weeks following the second Pfizer or Moderna dose or two weeks after the single Johnson & Johnson dose.

While the mask mandate has ended, anyone who chooses to wear a mask should be supported for their decision to mask up. We know that wearing masks is an effective way to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 and therefore it is strongly encouraged for those who are not fully vaccinated to continue to wear a mask indoors.
