In light of the rapid and easy spread of the Omicron variant, we at the Islamic Center will be observing the Safety Protocols very diligently.
1. High-Quality Masks, such as surgical masks or N95 masks, are required for entry, including for children. Simple cloth masks are inadequate.
2. Maintain 6 ft of Social Distancing.
3. Please refrain from socializing and making physical contact inside the masjid, and kindly depart as soon as prayer is over.
4. Follow the posted signs for one-way entry and exit (during Jummah prayer). 5. Keep your shoes with you in a bag (during Jummah prayer).
6. Gym usage for sport is temporarily suspended.
7. If you have COVID-19 symptoms, please pray at home until you are asymptomatic for at least 5 days and preferably, until your repeat COVID test is negative.
8. If you are unvaccinated, we encourage you to pray at home until the current COVID surge subsides. We will not however prohibit anyone from coming to the masjid.
We need your kind cooperation so that we can continue to remain open for prayers. Thank you. Jazakum Allahu Khairan.

Janaza Policy in light of COVID-19
This pandemic has been hard on all of us and invariably every one of us have lost someone near and dear in our extended families and in our friend circles. The inability to extend condolences and support in traditional ways adds to our emotional strain. However, in light of the ongoing pandemic, we need to remind ourselves to follow the safety guidelines and the state regulations.

- Only the immediate family members and close friends or relatives can attend funerals in order that we can comply with the regulation.

- Please avoid offering condolences in-person. Please offer them via phone, email or using other virtual options. The best thing we can do is to pray for the deceased and the grieving family from our respective homes so we can be respectful of the grieving family's need to be safe as well.
