亲爱的男同性恋者社区,
The status of the COVID-19 p和emic has greatly improved, with cases continuing to decline both locally 和 nationally. The availability of vaccines 和 boosters, 获得治疗, 和 the appropriate use of other protective measures have all contributed to this improvement.
牢记这些因素, 截至周五, 5月19日, 2023, MSM made several important updates to its COVID-19 policies:
Community members will no longer be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, 和 proof of vaccination will not need to be submitted. 然而, MSM 强烈 recommends that all community members 继续 to follow 疾病控制与预防中心的指导意见中 for COVID-19 vaccination which recommend that everyone be up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, 包括助推器.
Community members who test positive for COVID-19 will no longer be required to report their result to our COVID Response team. All community members should refer to the CDC for guidance after a positive test 和 consult with a health care professional to receive appropriate care.
It has been a long road since COVID-19 upended our lives more than three years ago. We are so proud of everyone in the MSM Community for the way everyone has worked together to navigate this public health crisis. 就像长期以来的情况一样, MSM will 继续 to monitor COVID-19 carefully 和 adjust our policies as needed.
We are thankful to MSM’s P和emic Response Team for their time 和 efforts as they helped to guide the MSM Community through the p和emic over these past years.
