COVID 19 update - October 2022

We (the PFP team) are so thankful to be vaccinated.  Luckily, most of the families we have been visiting over the past few months have been vaccinated as well.  We still need to take precautions:  there is so much we still do not know about this virus; we often visit families who are immunocompromised; and during our visit you will be grieving and likely releasing a lot of respiratory particles.  When we get to your house, we ask that you meet us outside (wearing a mask) to handle paperwork and discuss logistics.  After we handle paperwork, we can determine the best location.  If anyone who opts to be present is unvaccinated then we will need to be outside and they will need to wear their mask at all times.  If we are outside AND you are vaccinated, then masks are optional.  If we are inside, everyone should wear their mask (per CDC guidelines). The grieving process involves lots of respiratory particles.  
If you are sick or have been exposed to someone who is sick, please make this very clear during the initial phone conversation.  I hope that we all continue to stay safe and healthy.
