Hunt Street Station’s Response to COVID-19 (6/2/21)
As the CDC updates their guidelines for COVID-19, so does Hunt Street. We are well aware of the constant changes and we thank our members for being patient with us as we create new guidelines for our community. You can read the updated CDC guidelines here.
General Information
Members are allowed to remove their masks in the building if they are fully vaccinated, including the two week waiting period after your second shot of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or your first shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. You will still need to continue wearing a mask if you:
- Are not fully vaccinated (see note above about the two week waiting period)
- Cannot get vaccinated
- Have a suppressed immune system
- Are sick or have been around someone that is sick
- Don’t feel comfortable without your mask
We are not going to require that members submit proof of vaccination, but we are expecting that our members will be honest and that those of you that need to wear masks will do so until fully vaccinated. If the CDC policy does change again, we will also review and update our policies as well.

Hygiene Guidelines
- We have placed spray bottles of hand sanitizer around the building for everyone’s convenience. Please feel free to use this to clean your space and your hands, as necessary.
- Masks will be provided for those who don’t have one, but we ask members, guests, and staff who are in the space daily to provide their own masks as supplies can be difficult to obtain and quantity limits are still in place for many items.
- Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds using soap. Use your arm or sleeve when coughing or sneezing, not your hands, and use hand sanitizer if hand washing is not possible. Dispose of any tissues immediately (discard in closed trash cans) and wash your hands or use sanitizer any time you have used tissues.
- If you experience any symptoms of COVID-19, seek medical attention immediately and please remove yourself from the space. If you feel sick or unwell – stay home. For further information on how to protect against infection, check out the CDC guidelines.
- If you learn that you are infected with COVID-19 and you have been to Hunt Street Station in the last 14 days, please inform us immediately so we can take appropriate action.
