Dear Parents-
I write to thank all families for their commitment to following COVID mitigation strategies to keep themselves safe, and thereby keeping all of us safe. The pandemic has raised our anxiety and stretched our patience.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 virus is very much alive in our community. In the last 14 days, Fairfax County Health Department reported over 4,000 new cases of COVID-19 and an additional 46 deaths.
In light of the continuing outbreak, I ask that if you choose to allow your children to participate in sports or social activities, please insist that masks are worn at all times, unless participants are at least 6 feet apart in a social setting or 10 feet apart in an exercise setting.
Executive Order 72 is in effect: every Virginian must continue to practice measures that are proven to keep people safe: avoid gatherings with anyone outside your household, practice hand sanitation, physically distance from others, stay home when possible, and wear face coverings indoors and in public. With respect to face coverings, all individuals in the Commonwealth aged five and older must cover their mouth and nose with a face covering, as described and recommended by the CDC, when indoors or outdoors and unable to maintain at least six feet of physical distance from other individuals who are not family members.
Again, I thank you for your diligence and support.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I can be of any assistance.
Go to Joseph
(Gen 41:55)
