This delay targets the next six to eight weeks, where we are most likely to see increased rates of infection and hospitalization based on historical trends. This possible increase in transmission and hospitalization is anticipated due to natural increases in the Winter months and potential increases caused by the Omicron variant.

Staff recommends that large meetings and gatherings be held remotely when possible.
