As you know, the news and reports about the coronavirus have caused many questions and concerns. There are currently no confirmed cases in our area and although we are still considered to be at low risk for impact, the health and safety of our kids, students, and adults is always our top priority. To be proactive we wanted to share with you some of the things our ChetsKids and Chets Students teams are doing to help keep our Chets family and guests safe:
Well-Child Policy - In light of developments related to the coronavirus and the current flu season we want to remind you of our well-child policy. Please keep children who show any visible sign of illness (fever, runny nose that is not clear, etc.) at home until they are symptom-free for at least 24 hours.
ChetsKids - We are working with our volunteer leaders across all campuses to reinforce frequent hand washing and sanitizing. Every kids LifeGroup will have a supply of antiseptic wipes and sanitizer in their room to use as needed. Common surfaces (like tabletops, chairs, etc.) will be disinfected between classes on Sundays in addition to the cleaning we already do throughout the week. Additional hand sanitizing stations are being added to kids areas as well.
Chets Students - Student areas are adding additional hand sanitizing stations as well as making preparations to insure a healthy environment during THRIVE Weekend.
Again, the safety and security for kids and students at Chets is our number one priority. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your campus ministry leader.
Additionally we’d like to share two resources with you that we’ve found helpful:

This is an article that offers some helpful thoughts on a Christian response to the Coronavirus: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/how-should-christians-talk-about-the-covid-19-potential-pandemic/
Thank you Chets family. Stay healthy and continue to pray for those who are being impacted by the coronavirus.
