How did we come up with this?
Are they โ ๏ธ Unclear Risk โ ๏ธ ? (For example: you're unsure if they're vaxxed; they might have gone to crowded bars or parties unmasked, etc.)
Do this: Keep 6ft (~2m) distance or wear a surgical mask or better.
Otherwise (Low Risk):
Hang out with them outdoors normally!
<aside> ๐ก Summary Interact with people normally outside if they're vaccinated + you know they don't take big risks. Big risk: parties, unmasked bars etc.

๐จโ๐จโ๐งโ๐ฆ 4 or more other people? (Big gathering or public space)
Do this: Wear your p100 or fitted N95. (Surgical and cloth masks are not good enough. See below if you're unsure if you're using your mask correctly.)
๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ 3 or fewer other people? (Small gathering)
Are they โ ๏ธ Unclear Risk โ ๏ธ ? (For example: you're unsure if they're vaxxed; they might have gone to crowded bars or parties unmasked, etc.)
Same as above. Do this: Wear your p100 or fitted N95. (Surgical and cloth masks are not good enough.)
Otherwise (Low Risk):
Hang out with them indoors normally!
<aside> ๐ก Summary โข Hang out with up to 3 vaccinated friends inside without a mask if you know they don't take big risks. โข Wear a mask if you're inside with more than 3 people, in a public space, or you don't know whether they're vaxxed / what risks they take.
</aside>
๐ช Shops? Wear a p100 or fitted n95.
๐ฅ Restaurants? Sit outside.
๐ You're vaxxed? These rules still apply; you can still contract a variant
๐ฆ Had covid before? These rules still apply; you can still contract a variant. (We know someone who got corona even after having had covid and being double-vaxxed.)
๐ท Masks? [Check the seal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzIDhYGnDIM&ab_channel=C.W.HaydenCo.) on your mask before each trip. If you don't know how to check the seal, ask on Telegram and don't go indoors until you understand. The gist is: if you block the air intake valve and inhale, air shouldn't be able to get into your mask. Or if you block the output valve and exhale, air shouldn't escape your mask.
๐ค You have covid or cold symptoms? Let's hang out when you're feeling better.
