In his latest executive order, Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly officially on Friday approved the reopening of all city facilities that were closed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Starting Tuesday, all youth and family development and senior centers will resume operations after being closed for about 14 months. The city will also begin hosting summer camps and will open remaining pools the following week on, on June 7.
The Warner Park Pool opened on Friday.
“As the weather warms up, I am grateful for the opportunity to once again provide these important city services that bring our neighbors together in the spirit of community,” a statement by Kelly said. “Our city’s YFD centers, pools and senior centers provide vital services and offer welcome diversions. Reopening them safely has been a top priority for my administration.”
Under the order, masks will still be required in city-owned buildings for unvaccinated adults, while those under the age of 18 and vaccinated adults will be exempt.
