COVID Policy for Concord Friends Meeting
We strive to create a beloved community which shows loving concern and actions toward all attenders of the Meeting and all with whom we interact in the wider world. We demonstrate this care and love by being vaccinated, because vaccination protects the person vaccinated and others with whom they come in contact. We encourage all attenders to be vaccinated and keep their vaccinations up to date. We believe this will make our Meetinghouse a safer space for attenders whose own network includes people who are at greater risk of death or disability should they get the COVID-19 virus.
We request that you attend via Zoom if any of the following apply:
- You have a fever, cough, or other viral symptoms. (This is because you can have COVID and spread it before testing positive.)
- If you have had COVID recently, please don't attend in person until after the 5th day after you tested positive; and please wear a mask until the 10th day (or longer if your doctor recommends).
- If you know you have been exposed to COVID, please do not attend in person until after testing negative on the 5th day after exposure. Then please continue to wear a mask until the 10th day after exposure.
Otherwise, masks are currently optional in the Meetinghouse unless the CDC reports hospital admissions for COVID as “red” in any county of New Hampshire on the following map: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#maps_new-admissions-rate-county.
