Face Coverings and Mask Usage at the Ranch

  • A face covering, procedure mask or surgical mask is recommended by any unvaccinated person while on Ranch property when interacting with or in close proximity of Ranchers, staff or any individuals outside of your group or when inside any DHR building that is not an outdoor work space. If you or your group are in an isolated area you are welcome to remove the mask temporarily.  
  • Any visitor, vendor, volunteer, family member, etc that is interacting with the Ranchers or Campers or completing work inside a Ranch property must complete the health check screening and, regardless of vaccination status, it is recommended to wear a face covering or mask.
  • All unvaccinated staff or Ranchers are recommended to wear a face covering or mask when interacting with any vendor, retail customer or wholesale customer.

Health Check Screening

Updated September 19, 2022: Each of the following groups must conduct a daily health screening when working, or are present onsite at a Ranch property. 

  • Onsite vendors must complete the screening before entering any building or coming into contact with any staff, other than the coordinator of the visit.
  • Essential Visitors (as determined by the State) must complete the screening before entering any building. There are additional requirements for entering a residence. 
  • Ranchers who return to the Ranch after a “leave” must complete the screening before entering their home.

Types of Diagnostic COVID-19 Viral Test

  • A viral test tells you if you are infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. There are two types of viral tests: rapid tests and laboratory tests. Viral tests use samples that come from your nose or mouth. Rapid tests can be performed in minutes and can include antigen and some NAATs. Laboratory tests can take days to complete and include RT-PCR and other types of NAATs. Some test results may need confirmatory testing.
  • Self-tests are rapid tests that can be taken at home or anywhere, are easy to use, and produce rapid results. COVID-19 self-tests are one of many risk-reduction measures, along with vaccination, masking, and physical distancing, that protect you and others by reducing the chances of spreading COVID-19.
