New Normal Team Update

New Normal Team Update

COVID 19 cases continue to decline in the Jacksonville metropolitan area. On 10/23/21 the reported number of new cases dropped below 10/100,000 per day and the positive test percentage below 5%.  If the numbers remain low until November 6, the New Normal Team has recommended in-person services are safe to resume with the following precautions:

1. All members should be vaccinated.  Vaccination is the best way to reduce the risk of infection.
2. Vaccinated individuals can safely attend small groups. 
3. All persons attending UUCJ activities must wear masks and practice social distancing.
4. Unvaccinated members should attend meetings, services, and other activities virtually until the incidence of COVID 19 infections are minimal (less than 1/100,000 new cases per day) in our area
5. Persons who are sick should not come to UUCJ activities, should get tested for COVID-19 and if infected should seek treatment and isolate for at least 10 days.
6. A contact tracing system should be set up.  Leaders of small groups would be responsible for recording attendees and contacting them promptly if they have been exposed to COVID-19. Attendees at large services or other events should sign in, and the leader of that event would be responsible for contacting all attendees exposed to COVID-19.
