Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor Bryce Ward said that employees of the borough can start bringing in their proof of Covid-19 vaccination to Human Resources on Monday, and by June 1, all employees and patrons who are vaccinated will not be required to wear face coverings in Borough facilities.
Ward said that patrons and guests will be informed of the borough policy at entries and will be instructed to self-enforce, but employees will need to show proof before they will be exempt from mandatory masking policy.
Those employees who wish to continue to wear masks are not required to provide any information to HR, and those who are vaccinated may also choose to continue to wear a mask in facilities, Ward said in a memo to borough employees.
“Staff that violate the masking policy will be disciplined in accordance with Borough procedures,” Ward wrote.
