Greene County will be following the CDC/NYS Guidelines without any additional restrictions.

For the purpose of the fire training classes this means;

1. NO MORE Health COVID-19 Screening Assessment are necessary.

2. Vaccinated people will not have to wear masks or maintain six-foot distance.

3. Unvaccinated individuals must continue to wear masks and be socially distanced.

4. If someone chooses to wear a mask, they may. Further that action should not be interpreted as to indicate that the individual is unvaccinated.

5. We are not asking for proof of vaccination so it’s the honor system
