COVID Policy Update
(September 2023)
We continue to monitor CDC guidelines and other sources of information. Particularly during seasons when respiratory illness circulates, we ask that you be aware of the health of all.
- We ask that individuals who are not fully vaccinated or who do not feel well continue to join us exclusively on Zoom.
- We also ask that individuals who have recently travelled join on Zoom only for the first 5 days after their return to Vermont.
- As of September 25th, the CDC reports that the Covid infection level in Windham County is low. We note that recent articles suggest that masking protects others as well as yourself. We encourage those who may have been exposed to respiratory illness of any kind to use a well-fitting mask.
The Board will continue to monitor the CDC guidelines and the COVID-19 levels in Vermont, and will make changes as needed. To read the VIMC COVID Policy»
