As MCC moves into its fourth season managing our programs during COVID, it is important to articulate the norms that we expect our staff and AmeriCorps members to operate within as we, in good faith, attempt to keep our organization healthy and resilient. MCC takes community well-being seriously and we are committed to mitigating the risks that could lead to exposure or transmission of COVID and other viruses within our staff, on our crews, and in the communities we serve.
The best way for MCC staff and participants to ensure a safe working environment is to obtain a Covid-19 vaccination. For more information on vaccinations visit the Centers for Disease Control website.
OUR MOST RECENT UPDATE November 2, 2022
Based on the most recent guidance from the CDC, found here, MCC has issued this guidance:
- To improve protection from the COVID-19 variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others, we recommend wearing a mask when indoors in public if the Community Level is High. This is a CDC recommendation for vaccinated people.
- If you aren't already, get vaccinated. The vaccine is free, safe, and highly effective at preventing COVID illness or mitigating the severity of symptoms.
- Stay home and get tested if you have symptoms.
- Continue to wash hands, distance when possible, and keep work surfaces clean.
