COVID 19 & MASK POLICY

The Reopening Committee has reviewed The NYS Department of Health's Guidance for Isolation and Masking. In areas with High Community Levels of Covid, including Chemung County, it is recommended that masks are worn indoors in public.

The committee had decided to STRONGLY RECOMMEND MASK WEARING while in the Church Building. We are not currently mandating masks. We are also asking that eating when others are present be kept to a minimum.

We continue to have the following requirements:
Any person with COVID symptoms, Positive Covid Test, or Close Contact with a person testing positive for Covid shall not enter the church for 5 (FIVE) days. After the 5 days of church quarantine, IF the person is symptom free, they may enter the church wearing a KN95 or N95 mask for the next 5 days. After 10 days from exposure/positive test there are no additional church requirements.

Please note: When masking is required, the mask must be kept on at all times. To clarify, food shall not be consumed in the building by the person required to wear a mask.
