The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge staff continues to urge visitors, staff and volunteers to stay distanced, as this roseate spoonbill decal demonstrates.
The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge reported that the recent announcement by the CDC is entirely about masks, and so that it is the only change the federal government to date has allowed in the protocols currently in place. Tours remain limited and distanced. The number of guests allowed in the Visitor & Education Center is still limited to 25, and exhibits will continue to be covered until further notice. In accordance with CDC guidelines, the refuge still encourages visitors, staff and volunteers to wear masks, especially indoors and where distancing is not possible. Persons who are not fully vaccinated are required to wear masks. “Fully vaccinated” occurs two weeks following a final dose of COVID-19 vaccination.
