Covid Protocol

Our hope is to provide a blessed and safe environment for all of our Congress participants to have a God encounter.  As such, during our week together, the following practices will be observed:

VACCINATION

• All attendees are required to be fully vaccinated which will be verified prior to entrance into Congress Events.
• All attendees will be required to show physical or digital proof of vaccination status.

FACE COVERINGS

• Masks will be required to be worn throughout all events. Masks must cover the nose and the mouth.

PHYSICAL DISTANCING

• Physical distancing of at least three feet will be maintained during planning meeting events.

TEMPERATURE CHECKS

• Each attendee will submit to a daily temperature check before entrance into the daily Congress events. If an attendee at the Congress is determined to have a temperature of 99.9 (37.7 C) or higher, they will not be permitted to attend any of the Congress events. Any attendee identified with fever or any other COVID-19 related symptoms will be tested and asked not to participate in events until they are confirmed negative.

COVID TESTING

• All attendees MUST arrive with proof of a negative COVID test that is no more than 24 hours old
• All registered attendees will be provided with three (3) at-home test kits. They must self-test daily and provide proof of a negative test. 
  • Those in the dorms are to present their test results to designated dorm monitors for recording. These will be submitted daily to the Congress Wellness Team.
  • Those living off-campus will present a photo of their negative test to The Congress Wellness Team for admission to daily events.
• Any persons who test positive for COVID will be moved to a space designated for quarantine temporarily and arrangements will need to be made for them to leave the congress immediately.
• All non-resident guests of the Congress must also bring proof of vaccination and provide proof of a negative COVID test that is no more than 24 hours old.

EMERGENCIES

• If an individual appears in any emergent distress, 911 will be called for the person to seek emergency care.  

MEDICATIONS

• No medication will be administered by any health commission member to any attendees with fever or any other COVID-19 related symptoms.
