Guidelines for all prayers (including Jumu'ah) at the Masjid

Your safety and well-being remain our top priority, and as such, we have put in place certain measures to ensure the health and well-being of our congregants in an effort to reduce and eliminate the possibility of the spread of the virus. We count on your continued cooperation and patience during the next few weeks as we implement these protocols.   Additional information specific to Jummu'ah is in the next section - please continue reading.

The following restrictions need to be maintained as per public health guidelines:

  1. Anyone experiencing any symptoms of illness should not attend (fever, runny nose, coughing, sneezing, etc), even if it is a mild cold.
  2. Those with weak immune systems and those with with chronic medical conditions (emphysema, diabetes, asthma, heart condition, COPD, etc) should stay at home.
  3. We highly recommend that elders with any medical condition and children under 14 years old not attend and pray at home.
