Be Well Faith Update June 23

Posted by Jennifer Tolzmann on

As Faith Lutheran discerns next steps in being able to offer in-person worship opportunities (with restrictions), the Be Well Faith committee continues to review all the guidance available from the CDC, the MN Department of Health, and the ELCA. One thing that has been made abundantly clear by all organizations is that older adults and people of any age with serious underlying health/medical conditions may be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

Faith Lutheran will continue to encourage individuals in those groups to not participate with in-person gatherings. We love you, but stay home and stay safe.

Some of you may wonder, who are those at highest risk? Broadly, these groups take in individuals who are 65 years of age and older, people living in a nursing home or long-term care facility, and/or people of all ages with underlying medical conditions that are not well controlled.  Those conditions may include: chronic lung disease; moderate to severe asthma; serious heart conditions; diabetes, severe obesity and those on dialysis. There is a whole group of people who may be immunocompromised because of cancer, HIV or AIDS, organ transplant, and other conditions.  For further detail, follow this link to guidance from the CDC.

Please be aware that Faith Lutheran is concerned for the health, safety and wellness of ALL. Thank you in advance for supporting the work of staff and volunteers by taking into account these recommendations.
