Updated as of 8/8/24:
When the CDC Level of Respiratory Illness Activity for NYC is low or medium:
-
Indoors: masking is optional but encouraged
-
Please do not attend with COVID symptoms
-
For Malkhut Mishpacha and other events in community members’ homes, there may be additional COVID measures which will be communicated on the specific event’s registration form.
When the CDC Level of Respiratory Illness Activity for NYC is high or very high, we will reinstate the following safety measures:
-
Indoors: masking is required for adults and children above the age of 2
-
Outdoors: masking is always optional
-
Children too young to be in the children’s program and potentially too young to wear masks (below 2) are permitted to be in services with their parents
-
Clergy/prayer leaders/musicians may be unmasked as necessary but will test on the day of services
-
Please do not attend with COVID symptoms.
-
For some events with indoor meals, we may require you to take a same-day rapid test prior to your arrival. Please follow instructions in communications from specific events.
Informed by the CDC, Malkhut recommends that all people use core prevention strategies to protect themselves and others from COVID-19:
-
Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines.
-
Although vaccinated people sometimes get infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, staying up to date on COVID-19 vaccines significantly lowers the risk of getting very sick, being hospitalized, or dying from COVID-19.
-
-
Practice good hygiene (practices that improve cleanliness)
When you are sick:
-
Use precautions to prevent spread, including staying home and away from others (including people you live with who are not sick) if you have respiratory symptoms.
-
Learn when you can go back to your normal activities.
-
-
​Seek health care promptly for testing and/or treatment if you have risk factors for severe illness. Treatment may help lower your risk of severe illness, but it needs to be started within a few days of when your symptoms begin.
