Dear Ms. Freezer,
Thanks for reaching out. As of today, there are no plans to make changes to the public
health order regarding restaurants and bars. That is, in answer to your specific concern:
currently the restaurant masking policy says “children younger than 12, who are ineligible
for vaccination, may enter without showing proof.” Our public health officer has said that,
if a change to the age range on that public health order does occur, it would be January 17 at
the very earliest.
To keep up to date with public health information in Jefferson County, keep checking in
with our website here: https://jeffersoncountypublichealth.org/1429/COVID-19
Or, follow us on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
When the COVID-19 two-week case rate for Jefferson County falls below 75 cases per
100,000 and remains there for two weeks, the Jefferson County Health Officer will consider
rescinding this health order. Our current case rate is 181.82.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Sincerely,
Glenn Gilbert

Hi,
Now that the Covid vaccine has been approved for kids aged 5-11, will it be required for them to also
show proof of vaccine upon entry to a restaurant? Will there be a grace period with current rules
until a certain cut off date?
Just trying to sort out some holiday outings with a nine year old.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Laurel Freezer
