After conferring with the medical and legal subgroups of the
Advisory Panel for Re-Gathering, Bishop Haynes invites you to follow
along with her as she watches the recommended metrics for determining
when a 14-day decline in COVID-19 cases has happened in the State of
Virginia. Bishop Haynes, at the recommendation of doctors, physician
assistants and registered nurses, will be monitoring the decline in new
cases, hospitalizations, commitments to ICU's, deaths and percent
positivity as they are updated daily on the following sites:
Virignia Department of Health (Specifically, she will be looking at the 7-day average)
Covid Act Now (reports on readiness of hospitals, adequacy of testing, etc.)
Additionally, Bishop Haynes and Canon Hoffman will continue
to meet with the medical advisory panel at the beginning of each week so
that they can assist with correctly interpreting the data. Bishop
Haynes will let the diocese know each week what the progress is; in the
meantime, you are invited to watch along with her. The hopeful news is
that we are getting closer, and we will see each other again very soon.
