Weekly Risk Tracker Summary Chart
Update from the Reopening Working Group
We hope and pray our trend keeps moving onward to phase 3 and beyond. Yet, we know the current uptick in Vermont cases remains discouraging for us all. A recent mailing from Grace Cottage hospital summarized the situation well:
After a brief spike in early September, the prevalence of COVID-19 and the number of hospitalizations and deaths is declining in most areas of the United States. Unfortunately, Vermont is currently experiencing sustained growth of COVID-19 cases, up 38% in the past 14 days…. And children now have a higher rate of infection than adults in Vermont….
With these facts in mind, we proceed with our fact-driven approach to creating safe opportunities for gathering outside and, hopefully, inside soon as well. If a committee or small group has an idea for a small outdoor gathering, please submit your request to Tim Noonan for Executive Board approval and our office manager Lori for scheduling clearance.
Work continues to move forward toward having the sanctuary ready for Hybrid Service when we reconvene there. May it feel like before we know it!
Any questions or suggestions?
