Important Information Regarding the COVID-19 Coronavirus and Our Community

3/10/2020

0 Comments

 
In all circumstances, the health and safety of our community are our highest concern. There are actions which all members of our community can take to support the health and well-being of all.

The official recommendation from both the Indiana and Lake County health departments is to continue normal operations while asking our community members to take everyday preventive measures to help reduce the spread of illness.
Picture
At present, all activities are continuing normally at the Jewish Federation of Northwest Indiana. We do ask that everyone entering our building follow the CDC-recommended protocols we have put into place:
  • Warmly greet others verbally or with a wave or elbow bump. Avoid hugging and shaking hands.
  • Wash your hands when you enter the Federation building, before entering the Social Hall or office wing. Scrub thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with soap and running water.
  • Use disposable tissues to catch all sneezes and coughs, and wash hands again immediately.
  • Use hand sanitizers when frequent handwashing is not possible.
  • Avoid touching your face, nose and eyes.
  • Do not share plates or cups.
  • If you are feeling ill, PLEASE REMAIN AT HOME.
In addition, please be aware that the CDC is encouraging people over the age of 60 — as well as anyone with a severe chronic medical condition such as heart disease, lung disease, or diabetes — to "stay at home as much as possible" to reduce their higher risk of contracting COVID-19. We want to ensure that people do not put themselves or others in harm’s way and ask that you follow the CDC Guidelines.

We will continue to keep you informed as information becomes available. ​
