If you are unwell, for whatever reason, it is advised you remain home to reduce risk of exposure for others
In the event of a diagnosed COVID-19 case in either church, that church will close to allow deep cleaning and also to prevent the chance of infection from surface [rather than human] contact. The closure will be temporary
If you have a family member affected, where the potential for cross infection exists, undertake self-isolation until clearance has been provided [i.e. the suspected case has been tested negative]
Where a case of COVID-19 has been confirmed and where there has been contact with that person, self isolation is a mandatory requirement.
Changes to fellowship and morning tea practices after church are being reviewed and when finalised this notice will be revised.
