Al-Farooq Masjid COVID-19 Guidance

With the ongoing spread of COVID-19 your health and safety are our priority.  Masjid management is actively monitoring the situation and is taking the appropriate steps to maintain a safe environment for our community.  The Center for Disease Control has issued guidance on what is currently known about the Coronavirus Disease.

There are many steps each for us can take to minimize the risk of spreading germs.  Our management is strongly urging community members to follow the below guidance:

Stay home if you are sick.  
To help prevent further spread, please try to stay home if you are sick, avoid public areas and public transportation.  Also, try to limit contact with others.  Symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath.

Seek medical attention as necessary.
If you develop symptoms, have been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19 or have traveled from an area with widespread or ongoing community spread, contact your doctor immediately.

Limit non-essential travel or unnecessary mass gatherings.
Please try to limit non-essential travel.  This would include visiting public spaces that could aid in the further spread of the disease.

Wash your hands frequently.
Washing your hands frequently is key to preventing infection or the spread of COVID-19.  We encourage you to sanitize your home, workspace, and other common areas.

Cover your cough or sneeze.
If you are sick and are unable to stay home, please consider using a face mask to prevent further spread.
