新型疫情已经演变成遍地开花的局面，未来一段时间仍有大规模爆发的可能。可以预见，随着春节假期结束，将有许多的华胞陆续返回教會，我们所担忧的新情况随时会出现。为避免教会聚会受到不必要的波及，除了儆醒祷告，我们需要严阵以待。由于目前尚未研发具疗效药物，医疗单位采取的措施：有疑似病例需即刻彻底隔离才能控制疫情。(请参考权威机构发布的新型冠状病毒防疫手册)
以下几项防范措施，请教会弟兄姐妹严加遵守：
一、在国内疫情尚未有效控制之前，请避免回国。近期有回国行程者，建议即刻取消。
二、若目前人在国内过年探亲，计划返回者，一定要重视在候机及航班上有交叉感染的危险性。回来在参加主日聚会和小组聚会前，自行执行居家隔离两周。
三、居家隔离期间，若出现呼吸道感染症状，如鼻塞、流鼻水、咳嗽、发烧等，请即刻就医，不要耽延。
四、即使个人没有回国，仍请留意近期从国内返国之家人亲友的健康状况，特别是共同生活、密切互动的家人及自己的健康。
五、为有效防疫，特别注意在市场，商店，货行，餐饮等经营场所跟客户保持一定的安全距离，不握手、不拥抱、不面对面聊天交谈。
六、为了个人、家人、教会肢体，请多多保重自己。并时常儆醒祷告，求主怜悯看顾，让这次国内的疫情能快快平息。
〝愿耶和华赐福给你、保护你。愿耶和华使他的脸光照你、赐恩给你。愿耶和华向你仰脸、赐你平安。〞（民数记 六：24～26）
Dear brothers and sisters,
The circumstance surrounding the novel coronavirus has evolved into a widespread situation. There remains a possibility for this to become a pandemic. We can see that as the new years vacation ends and people start to return to church, the worrisome situation will occur. In order to prevent unnecessary disturbance to our gathering, other than watchful prayers, we need to be especially careful. Due to the fact that there is still no effective vaccine, the only way to control the spread of the disease is to use total quarantine when suspected symptom/case is observed.
There are a few preventive measures, we ask brothers and sisters to abide by:
1. Do not return to China until the situation is effectively contained. If you have recent plans to return, we suggest to cancel the trip immediately.
2. If you are still in China and are planning on returning to the U.S., please be extra careful of the possibility of cross-infection on the plane and in the boarding area. Please perform self-quarantine for two weeks after you return home in the US.
3. During self-quarantine, if symptoms of respiratory system infection occurs, (such as sinus, coughing, fever) please immediately get medical attention, do not delay.
4. Even if you have not traveled to China, please pay attention to the health of family members and friends who just returned back from China, especially those share the same habitat.
5. Please keep a safe distance from other people in all public places.
6. Please take good care of yourself for the sake of yourself, your family, and your church members. Please pray often and ask for mercy and protection from the Lord and pray that this pandemic in China can ease quickly.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24-26)
