Statement on enforcing mandates set by our states and municipalities:
It is important to remember that mandates, orders and other local rules are being put in place by states and municipalities across the country. For example, at times different mask and travel rules have been ordered by all four states in our section (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia).
It is the responsibility of USTA Middle States to comply with all state mandates currently in place.
State orders supersede any organization or facility rule, and USTA Middle States is required to comply with any state order or mandate of this type. Specific questions about the mandate can be sent to each respective state office, or local medical officials.
In the case that a local municipality, organization or facility has a stricter rule in place than the state, that local rule/mandate should be followed.
Update for Pennsylvania and Delaware Mask Mandates:
As of May 13 in Pennsylvania and May 21 in Delaware, masks are no longer required to be worn by fully vaccinated people in most situations indoors. Our current interpretation of this rule means fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear masks on-court, indoors, in these states.
Individuals who are not vaccinated are still required to wear masks in all situations indoors.
