鉴于新冠疫情未来一段时间仍有大规模爆发的可能，为避免教会聚会和弟兄姊妹生活受到不必要的波及，除了儆醒祷告，我们需要严阵以待。以下几项防范措施，请教会弟兄姐妹严格遵守：
一、在疫情尚未有效控制之前，请避免前往疫情高发地区（具体地区定义请参见美国疾病控制局网站，下同）。近期有前往疫情高发地区的弟兄姊妹，建议即刻取消。
二、若近期从疫情高发地区回到美国的弟兄姊妹，在参加主日聚会和小组聚会前，请自行执行居家隔离两周（14天）。若有和近期从疫情高发地区来的人有密切接触（包括一起居住、用餐等）的弟兄姊妹，也建议执行同样的居家隔离。
三、鉴于流感仍旧盛行，弟兄姊妹或者家人若出现感冒症状，如鼻塞、流鼻涕、咳嗽、发烧等，请即刻就医，不要耽延。建议有感冒症状的弟兄姊妹参加线上查经和线上主日聚会。
四、参加教会聚会的弟兄姊妹，请注意个人卫生，常洗手、消毒，必要时候佩戴口罩等个人防护用具，为自己和其他弟兄姊妹的安全考虑。参加聚会时请保持一定的安全距离，不握手、不拥抱、不面对面长时间聊天交谈。
虽然目前我们地区（大纽约/新泽西地区）无确诊新冠状病毒病例，教会决定从即日起采取如下措施：
• 在会所的主日敬拜照常进行，暂停饭食（包括儿童主日学饭食和点心）和茶水供应，暂停小组讨论
• 周三祷告会和预查照常进行
• 周五小家聚会形式由家长决定，建议暂停饭食供应
• 周四姊妹聚会暂停
如果情况进一步恶化，比如新泽西或者纽约出现确诊新冠病例，我们会：
• 停止在会所所有的聚会，包括主日敬拜，周三祷告会和预查，改为线上聚会
• 停止周五小家聚会，改为线上聚会
在这样的时刻，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，让这次的疫情能快快平息。
Due to the Coronavirus still having the possibility to become a pandemic, for the purpose of avoiding unnecessary impact to church gathering and brothers and sisters’ daily lives, in addition to watchful prayers, we are also taking serious precautions. We ask brothers and sisters to observe the following precautions.
1. Please avoid traveling to high risk areas/countries before the spread has been effectively contained. Please check
cdc.gov for reference. If you have travel plans to high risk areas in the near future, please cancel the trip.
2. If you have recently returned from high risk areas, please perform a self-quarantine of 14 days before returning to any gathering. If you have close contact with anyone returning from high risk areas, please also follow the same procedure.
3. Due to the current flu season, if anyone has flu-like symptoms such as sinus, coughing, fever, etc., please immediately seek doctor treatment, do not procrastinate. We suggest any brother/sister with symptoms to join Sunday gathering online.
4. Please pay close attention to personal hygiene when you attend gatherings. For the sake of protecting yourself and others, please wear personal protective equipment such as facial masks when necessary. Please refrain from shaking hands and hugging as well has maintaining a safe distance and avoid long conversations.
Even though our area (greater NY/NJ) does not have any confirmed Coronavirus cases, we have decided to conduct the following measures effective immediately:
1. Sunday gathering will continue, but all meals and beverage services (adult and children) will be cancelled. Small group is also cancelled. (You can bring your own closed capped bottles)
2. Wednesday prayer meeting and prestudy will continue as usual.
3. Friday night gathering will depend on each small family’s decision, we suggest stopping meals as well.
4. Thursday sisters’ gathering are cancelled.
If the situation continues to progress and worsen (such as confirmed case appearing in NY/NJ area):
1. Cancel all physical gatherings at the church and switch to online gathering.
2. Cancel all physical Friday gatherings and switch to online gathering.
In moments like this, please take care of yourself for the sake of your family and church members. Please watchfully prayer and ask for the mercy and protection from our Lord so this disease can be contained quickly.
