• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden

"Gathering together for worship is at the heart of many faith traditions," reads a statement from the CDC.

"Because there are several published reports of COVID-19 outbreaks sparked by large gatherings, both non-religious and religious in nature, the recommendations released today will help guide faith communities while respecting their fundamental right to gather for worship."

Recommendations include;

Encouraging staff and congregants to wash their hands with soap and water

Providing hand sanitizer

No-touch trash cans

Encouraging the use of cloth masks

"Suspending or at least decreasing use of a choir/musical ensembles and congregant singing, chanting, or reciting during services,"

Daily disinfection

Social distancing

Limiting the sharing of objects such as books and hymnals

Identify an area to quarantine people with COVID-19 symptoms

If someone in a congregation is diagnosed with COVID-19, perform contact tracing and inform anyone with exposure to the person to stay home and self-monitor

Close off any area used by a sick person and do not use until it has been disinfected - which should be performed at least 24 hours later.

Designate a staff member to handle COVID-19 concerns
