COVID Protocol, Masking Required for Indoor Activities
As you probably know, there has been a surge in COVID cases due to the delta variant. The CDC currently considers Hennepin County's transmission rate to be "substantial" and recommends masking at indoor public gatherings for all participants, even those who have been vaccinated. Check here for more detailed information.
Due to the current number of COVID cases in MN, we are doing our best to ensure the safety of those attend programming in person. Masks are required for all participants during indoor activities at MZMC. If you have not been vaccinated, we ask that you join us on Zoom. Click here to find Zoom links for our programming.
We also recommend that you dress in layers, as it may sometimes be quite cool during sittings, Sunday lectures, classes, etc. To ensure good ventilation within the building, we open windows whenever possible.
In the event that someone tests positive for COVID after having been recently at the Center, we will be as transparent as possible, announcing that fact to the community. We encourage everyone who attends MZMC to be sure that they are on our email list so that they will be informed in the event that this occurs. To get onto this list, simply see the bottom of our home page. If you have been at MZMC recently and then test positive, please inform us as soon as possible. We will keep your identity confidential.
Now that the weather has gotten colder, and it's not practical to serve food and beverages outside, the following policy will be in place as of Monday, November 15, and will continue until we are able to lift our mask requirement or the weather warms up again: No food or beverages will be served at MZMC. After the Sunday and Tuesday talks, everyone is welcome to stay and socialize, masked, within the building, but without refreshments. Retreats will either be online only or will be held without serving food and beverages. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis. These policies are necessary to protect the community. We thank everyone for their patience.
We will continue to monitor the recommendations of our health departments. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
