- The Conference of Churches in Grenada joins the rest of the nation in expressing our concernย for Grenada as the COVID crisis has entered a different, more dangerous, phase.
- While differing theories exist about Covid-19 and vaccine, we must not let them distract usย from the serious challenge of confronting this threat to the nationโs health and to the lives ofย our citizens.
- We reaffirm our commitment to the protocols already established, i.e., the proper wearing ofย masks, physical distancing, temperature checks, sanitizing of hands and surfaces, theย avoidance of crowds, especially for long periods of time.
- We recognize the value of limiting person-to-person contact. Therefore, we propose that for the coming weekend, we discourage the vulnerable from attendance and strictly adhere to the protocols. If the current trend remains dangerously high, we ask our churches to suspend in person services for the two or three weeks following. Each church will determine how it worships virtually. People with chronic underlying health conditions are strongly urged to restrict their movements.
- We recommend that the limitation on numbers at funerals and weddings be strictly enforcedย without any exemptions or special allowances until further notice.
- The same collaboration that is being asked of the churches must be sought from all sectors ofย the society. We must seek an approach of national unity in this matter.
- It has been indicated that vaccinations against COVID-19 help lessen the severity of illness, soย we recommend that individuals, especially parents and caregivers, make an informed decisionย about taking the vaccination.
- With deep gratitude we commend the frontline workers of Grenada: those at hospitals, healthย care centers, RGPF, homes for the aged, sanitation workers, teachers and other essentialย service workers.
- The CCG recognizes that the Government has the information necessary to make the bestย decision for safeguarding the health of our Nation. We stand ready to support decisive actionย in the best interest of all our citizens.
