COVID-19 Protocols
2022 NE MN Synod Journey COVID-19 Protocols The NE MN Synod Journey COVID-19 Protocols and Preparedness Plan does not eliminate risk of exposure or infection, but is a guide to mitigate the exposure and spread of COVID-19 as much as possible while still providing a quality experience for Synod Journey participants. In determining COVID-19 protocols, we were mindful of the wide geographic area our groups come from with various infection rates, and the realities of an overnight event where measures such as face coverings lose their efficacy when participants are housed and eating in common spaces. At the same time, we know counties in which our participants are coming from - and coming to - have had persistently high rates, and breakthrough infections despite vaccination status. Please read the full Synod Journey COVID-19 Protocols and share these with your group members and parents! They include instructions for exposure prior to July 21, how we will handle symptoms during the Journey, and more. Key Protocols:
It would be helpful for Adult Leaders to bring rapid tests with you in case group members show symptoms. We will have a limited supply of rapid tests on hand if you forget yours. Event and Registration Information
Background Checks for Synod Journey Adult Leaders
All adult leaders are required to submit to a Background Check to participate in the Synod Journey. Background checks will take place in March/April, after Synod Journey registration has closed. You will receive an email from Active Screening with the subject line "NE MN Synod Journey Background Screening Invitation". Follow the instructions and link in that email to submit your information for your background check. Forms only take 2-3 minutes to fill out. Background checks performed for other organizations cannot be used in place of this one. The NE MN Synod uses Active Screening to process the background checks. Please read the NE MN Synod Journey Background Check Guidelines for information on what checks we will do and how we will handle your information. |
