Due to the transmissibility of present variants of the virus and high levels of the virus in our county, our Session now strongly recommends following Oregon Health Authority guidelines and masking for those attending worship or coffee hour indoors. Those attending coffee hour indoors may unmask while eating and drinking.
While hospitalization rates have fallen from earlier peaks, there is concern that some 1 in 5 people who become infected go on to develop long Covid. Thanks for your help in keeping those who are vulnerable safe in this season!
