MASK MANDATE
Due to the uptick in COVID-19 infections in Ohio and across the country, the YMCA of Greater Cleveland is taking additional measures to ensure our members, staff and community stay healthy and safe. 
 
Beginning Friday, November 20, 2020, all participants school-age (6+) entering our facilities will be required to wear a face covering (covering mouth and nose) at all times, including during active exercise and program participation except when: 

• Actively participating in the pool;  
• Actively playing in Youth Sports and youth gross motor activity programs; 
• In the shower. 
• Those who are actively eating or drinking. 

 
For our fitness facilities, this means that masks are now required in group exercise classes and in the workout areas, even when 6 feet distancing can be maintained. Members who are in the pool or in the shower may remove their mask but will need to replace the mask when they are no longer in the pool or shower. 
 
School-age youth participating in sports program like Jr. Cavs do not have to wear a face-covering while actively participating.  
 
We respectively ask everyone to comply for the good of all. 

This applies to all of our branches.
​
​Masks must comply with our policies related to attire as specified on page 6 of the Member Handbook. Members who do not comply will be asked to leave and could have their membership revoked.
