COVID Safe Plan for Worship Brunswick Uniting Church
We will attend to COVIDSafe requirements in line with State Government Health Department guidelines.
Sunday morning worship will be offered on site in person and via live stream.
Live streaming worship
Unvaccinated people and people with complex health needs continue to be vulnerable and may choose not to attend worship. Our worship services continue to be livestreamed for people unable to meet in person
Mask wearing
At BUC we will continue to emphasise communal love for our vulnerable neighbours by:
- Having our Holy Communion servers mask while serving
- Encouraging people to monitor their health, and stay home if unwell
- The Victorian Health Department recommendations for mask wearing include: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/face-masks
- Wear a mask for at least 7 days if you have COVID-19 and need to leave your home
- if you are indoors, or
- if you cannot maintain physical distance
If you test positive for COVID
Isolate and tell your contacts. It is recommended that you should isolate for at least 5 days and until you don’t have symptoms anymore.
If you are a contact of a person who has tested positive for COVID
A close contact should regularly test for at least 7 days following their last contact with the person who has COVID-19. A social contact should test if they have symptoms of COVID-19.
