Dear Brother and Sisters:

Based on the current COVID-19 situation in Ames, and CDC as well as Iowa State guidelines, DAIC board has decided to ease all COVID-19 related restrictions, starting March 14, 2022, i.e. social distancing is no longer required and wearing a mask is not mandatory.

There will be designated Social Distancing areas in the main prayer hall and sisters prayer hall for those that still choose to observe social distancing due to health reasons.

Disposable masks and paper rugs will be made available for those in need.

However, DAIC board asks community members to follow these recommendations to keep our community safe:

1. Do not come to DAIC if you have any cold or flu symptoms until you are free of any symptoms
2. Wear a mask, if you feel like you may be getting sick
3. Do not come to DAIC for at least 5 days, if you have been in contact with an infected person with COVID-19. Wear a well-fitting mask for 10 days (Day 0 is the first day of being in contact with an infected person with COVID-19).
4. Do not come to DAIC for 5 days if you have tested positive for COVID 19. Wear a well-fitting mask for 10 days (Day 0 is the first day of symptoms or positive test date if you have no symptoms.)

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the board at iceb@arqum.org
