FVAMC Weekly Updates: 3/10/2020

‌

Special News Update: March 10, 2020

Asalamu Alaikum,

We are closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. As many of you have already heard, the virus is spreading person-to-person through close contact (within six feet) or inhaling airborne respiratory droplets from an infected person. Older adults and people with severe underlying chronic medical conditions are at a greater risk.

At this point, FVAMC remains open for business, but we strongly urge our members to take proper precautions to limit the spread of the virus. We will be sending updates and changes as necessary.

WE ASK OUR MEMBERS TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:

Please do not come to the Center if you are sick or exhibiting cold or flu-like symptoms.Your fellow brothers and sisters will thank you for it.
We are planning on cleansing the Musalah, but ask that you bring a prayer rug to use.
If possible, make Wudu at home.
Wash your hands with soap well and often, but at least before every prayer.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Use alternative, non-contact methods to hand-shaking.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow. Throw used tissues in the trash and immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
If you are sick, wear a mask around other people.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, faucets, and sinks. You can use household bleach to make your own disinfectant by mixing 1/3 cup bleach per gallon of water.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION. STAY SAFE.
