Coronavirus
Covid-19

 

As communities and public health officials respond to the outbreak of the coronavirus (Covid-19), we are closely monitoring its progression as well. Below are some guidelines and resources for our community.

The Basics: How you can protect yourself

Symptoms of the coronavirus are similar to the flu or a cold: runny nose, headache, cough, sore throat, fever and a general feeling of being unwell.

These are some steps health officials recommend to protect yourself:

·   Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use a hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.

·   Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.

·   Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

·   Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.

·   Clean and disinfect object and surfaces.

·   Stay at home and away from others if you are feeling ill.

 

For more information please visit the CDC website: www.cdc.gov

 

Additionally, it is permissible for those who are sick or not feeling well to not attend prayer congregations, even Jumua Salaat, and to stay at home instead. Anyone missing Jumua Salaat should pray Dhuhr Salaat.

 

The Masjid has hand sanitizers and we urge everyone to use them when entering and when leaving the Masjid.
