PANDEMIC PROTOCOLS

As COVID-19 surges yet again with the Omicron variant, please take the steps needed to keep you and your congregations safe. Almost every area of the country is seeing high levels of community transmission at this point, and while this latest strain has been less deadly—particularly for those who are vaccinated and boosted—it can spread rapidly. Depending on the situation in your community, a return to virtual services, hybrid options to allow more distancing, or other precautions should be considered, and mask requirements are wise in any indoor situation with groups of people.
