COVID-19 Response Plan
Goal
-
The response plan must be staged, localized by county based on official, publicly available, vetted scientific data.
The Tennessee Department of Health County Data Snapshot will be our primary source when filtered for Grainger, Hamblen, and Jefferson Counties.
The Harvard Global Health Institute and Brown School of Public Health COVID Risk Levels Dashboard will be our secondary source when filtered for Grainger, Hamblen, and Jefferson Counties.
The stages in our plan aim to be proportional to the exponential growth of COVID-19.
Overall
We will continue to live stream during all stages.
Communication of changes between stages will be shared via OneCallNow.
STAGE 1: Based on Friday's numbers 0-9 daily case rate per 100,000 people average in the past 7 days in any of our counties (the highest of Grainger, Hamblen, Jefferson)#
All activities normal
Anyone who is immuno-compromised who would be endangered by attending services should stay home
Screening: We will follow the CDC guidelines on quarantine and isolation. Thank you for following the guidelines.
