Protocols & Best Practices Updated

Posted 12/7/2021

 
Picture
An update to the Protocols and Best Practices document has been published by the Bishop and diocesan Covid Task Force. Changes were made considering information learned since the previous revision.

Masking and distancing continue to be encouraged as the best method to reduce the possibility of transmission of the Covid-19 virus. To further emphasize this, the protocols now include posting signage to remind participants that masking and distancing is encouraged. This is important to do regardless of vaccination status.

The primary modification made regards singing. Singing is an important part of our worship tradition. Congregational and choir singing is now allowed while distanced. Masking while singing is strongly encouraged. The Task Force recognizes singing increases the risk of transmission, but such risk is best mitigated by distance. The mitigation of risk by masking is likely, but not as significant as distancing is. Keeping appropriate space between households becomes more important when singing takes place.

Additional modifications made either clarify the language or attempt to make it consistent with current understandings regarding Covid-19. 

The revised document is here.
