Covid advisory



 Hello, All,
      I am sory to need to send this to membership.  Yoyo Moore has tested positive for Covid19, and is currently at home in isolation.  The rest of his family is awaiting results of their tests.  Yoyo  was last at Heights Jewish Center Synagogue on Saturday (Shabbos) October 31, 2020.
      While the officers and board are not in aposition to give medical advice, I am forwarding the information below for your use.  The link will take you to a CDC page which may offer you some helpful guidance.  You are encouraged to contact your personal physician if you are in doubt as to any precautions you may need to observe.  If we get any further direct and pertenant information, we will forward it to you.
 

Per the CDC guidelines, "exposure" is defined as "close contact - less than 6 feet away - for a total of 15 minutes over a 24 hour period."  Note the current guidelines speak of cumulative contact over 24 hours.   


Notice also that, in the appendix where they define "close contact" that this is irrespective of masks - the CDC is of the opinion that most people don't know how to wear PPE properly and don't have the right PPE anyway, and that the jury is out on cloth masks altogether.
on behalf of the board.

Rob Altshuler, 

President
