COVID-19
At this point in the pandemic, we continue to have a 3-pronged approach to avoiding infection:
- Encouraging the wearing of a well-fitting mask in indoor spaces
- Enhancing ventilation
- Keeping up to date with vaccinations
So, with that in mind, at LPC we are:
- Encouraging the wearing of KN95 masks while in our spaces (provided)
- Enhancing ventilation by:
- Keeping windows open in the sanctuary prior to and during the Sunday service and in the Community Room for Coffee Hour (weather permitting)
- Placing our HEPA filter in the Community Room prior to the service in prep for Coffee Hour
- Measuring CO2 levels – usually reading from ~450-550 in both the sanctuary and Community Room. We want it to remain below 900.
- Encouraging everyone to keep up to date their COVID vaccinations.
Please continue to monitor your own health and stay home if you feel unwell.
COVID-19 is not a benign illness, with people who even report mild symptoms remaining at risk for complications in the future.
Other illnesses that can be easily transmitted
RSV is currently circulating in our community of North Toronto. Influenza rates are low but are expected to increase within the next month. Vaccinations are available for both diseases.
Online worship
Remote access via Zoom (from the sanctuary) will continue. We recognize that everyone is tired of the pandemic, and we continue to worship together in person as long as we can do it safely.
