NWUU Gathering Guidelines
|
The NWUU Gathering Guidelines are reviewed as deemed necessary by the Safety Committee and are updated as needed based on their awareness of the latest science and guidance from public health authorities. After careful consideration balancing individual risks, providing a communal Sunday morning worship experience, and current practices at other UU congregations, the Safety Committee has updated the NWUU gathering guidelines, effective as of Sunday, January 8th, 2023.
Face Masks Optional at Low and Medium Risk Face masks will be optional when at the Low or Medium community risk for large gatherings (Sunday services, memorial services, weddings, etc.). All participants are required to be masked indoors at the High community risk level. At any risk level, small groups may decide together whether to allow participants to be unmasked. Communal Singing at Low and Medium Risk At Medium risk level and below, there are no restrictions on singing. At High risk level, there will be no indoor singing. Only recorded music will be used. Coffee Hour/Potlucks at Low and Medium Risk Food and drink service are allowed at large indoor gatherings only when the Detroit Metro Area is at Low or Medium risk level according to COVIDActNow. (Small gatherings held at Northwest, such as Tuesday Soup and Service Auction events, may eat together). While there will not be Coffee Hour or Potlucks during High level, members are welcome to stay after worship services to socialize. (Bring-your-own-beverage). Social distancing is advised while unmasked. The current risk level and CDC guidance will be posted in a visible location at the time of gatherings with food service. Gathering Size Limits There will be no limit on gathering size while at the Low or Medium risk level according to the COVID ACT NOW website. While at the High risk level, there will be room capacity limits set and six feet of social distance between households will be advised. |
Vaccinations and Testing Proof of vaccination will not be required; however, if at the High community risk level, attendees will sign a covenant affirming their agreement to abide by current safety measures upon entering the building. Attendees are preferred to be up to date with COVID-19 vaccines. You are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines if you have completed a COVID-19 vaccine primary series and received the most recent booster dose according to the latest CDC Stay Up to Date Guidance. Unvaccinated persons may attend in person gatherings provided they have received a negative COVID-19 test result within 48 hours of attending. Ventilation, Cleaning, and Reporting The HVAC dampers have been adjusted to allow maximum fresh air intake. Weather permitting, doors and windows should be opened to maximize ventilation. K. Cleaning: Routine cleaning of high-touch services will be done by custodial staff. If an individual receives a positive COVID test within one week of attending a church gathering, they should notify the Congregational Administrator. Medical information will be held in strict confidence. The church will notify potential close contacts. Lifting of Safety Measures All safety measures may be lifted when vaccination against COVID-19 has been available to all ages for a period of six weeks, OR when public health authorities have declared an official end to the pandemic. |
