Friendly Reminders for Health and the Prevention of the Coronavirus and Other Illnesses
Recently there has been an outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by a new strain of Coronavirus, which was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Today (January 31), it has been reported that the Bay Area’s 1st case of Coronavirus has been diagnosed in Santa Clara. As of today, there is no vaccine available to protect people against human Coronavirus infection.
Out of concern for your health and the public’s, SFCAC has implemented the following measures to promote a healthy church environment against the spread of the Coronavirus, the flu, and other similarly spreadable illnesses:
1. Safety reminders will be posted in restrooms.
2. Hand sanitizers are available at all buildings.
Also, we encourage you to take common-sense precautions to prevent the spread of the virus and reduce risk of infection by doing the following:
1. Use hand sanitizers and wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
3. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
4. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or flexed elbow when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
5. Get your flu shot to protect against flu, which can produce symptoms similar to Coronavirus.
6. Stay home while you are sick.
7. Wait for 24 hours after a fever has ended – without the use of fever-reducing medicine – before attending large gatherings.
8. Consider not attending large gatherings, as this is where cold, flu, and other respiratory viruses often spread.
9. If you have traveled to or been in close contact with someone who has traveled to the affected areas, please pay extra attention to the prevention steps and inform CDC if you suspect infection. Self-quarantine for 14 days is recommended.
Please join us in praying for those affected and to maintain a Christ-like care and sympathy for those in need. Thank you and God bless.
