TRINITY COVID-19 GUIDELINES 

Our desire is to gather as a church family for corporate worship and other Trinity events while implementing safe and wise guidelines that serve one another and our city.

General Protocol

We strongly encourage you to practice social distancing and wear a mask at indoor Trinity events.  At outdoor events we encourage you to practice social distancing, and wear a mask if you are within six feet of those outside your family. 

At Worship

We will at least comply with all COVID-19 requirements of our hosts (Owasso School District, Patriot Golf Club, etc).  Currently, the Patriot requires masks for all who enter their facility.  In addition:

• Sanitizing supplies will be available at entrances, and exits.
• Rows of chairs will be spaced six feet apart.
• Worship elements (communion, offering, passing of the peace) are being adapted to provide the healthiest environment possible.
• TrinityKids nursery will not be available at this time, but there is a small area for kids to play in the back of the Founders’ Room at the Patriot.
• The service will be live-streamed (watch.trinityowasso.com).  

Exposure

If you have been “exposed” to someone you know has tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you quarantine for 14 days starting the day after last known exposure.  Exposure is defined as being less than 6 feet away for a cumulative 15 minutes or more up to 48 hours prior to a positive test or onset of symptoms.

To be considered recovered (without a test), these three things must happen.  The Tulsa Health Department and US Center for Disease Control advises:

• No fever for at least 72 hours (three full days of normal temperature without the use of medicine)
• Other symptoms improved (no more cough, etc.)
• At least 10 days since symptoms first appeared

Positive Test

If you have tested positive for COVID-19, please isolate yourself for 10 days starting the day after onset of symptoms, or if you are asymptomatic then starting the day you received a positive test.

Illness/Symptoms

Please refrain from attending Trinity events if:

1. If you are experiencing a new loss of taste or small, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
2. If you are experiencing two or more of the following COVID-19 related symptoms:

• Chills
• Cough
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Have had a fever of 100.0 degrees in the past 24 hours
• Headache
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose

The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly.  Please pay attention to updates which will be made as necessary.  If you have any questions or concerns about these guidelines or how to implement them in your case, please contact us at covidsafety@trinityowasso.com.
