Precautionary Measures Due to Coronavirus

It is suggested that those returning from overseas or long distance travel should stay at home for two weeks to minimize spreading contagions.
Follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for protecting yourself – wash hands frequently with soap and water, cover coughs and sneezes, avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands, stay home if you feel ill.
Consult a doctor if you have a high fever, cough or breathing problems.
Be aware of anti-Asian/Chinese sentiments from those who have anger or fear related to the virus’ origins. Call 911 if you feel threatened.
Trust God in this and all situations acting as Jesus would to check on people who may need assistance, not giving into fear, verifying information before passing it on, praying often for His protection and trusting Him for the outcome. Our response in any situation is a testimony of our faith.
You are advised to stay home, only going out to buy groceries, if necessary. You do not want to bring the virus home to loved ones. Cancellation of worship services are also announced through the website, phone tree, social media, WTOP and WJLA. If you want to be on the email list, please make sure we have you current email by contacting linda@cccdc.com
