River of Life Christian Church COVID Prevention Guidelines for Staff

January 14, 2022

A)  Face Coverings:

    1)  Outdoors:  Not required.  It is recommended to wear a facemask if there is no social distancing.

    2)  Indoors and in vehicles with others:  Must wear a facemask unless you are in a private office alone, regardless of your vaccination status.  If an unvaccinated staff wears a fabric facemask, he/she must wear two layers of a facemask.  Operations Department will provide surgical facemasks and respirators (N-95) to staff upon request.

B)  Social Distancing, Barrier, and Eating/Drinking 

Not required of social distancing and barriers indoors regardless of vaccination status, unless there is an outbreak (3 COVID cases within 14 days).  An unvaccinated staff must not eat or drink in the kitchen but can eat or drink at your own cubicle or office if you are at least 6 feet apart from others.  If an unvaccinated staff wishes to eat with coworkers outdoors, you should still keep at least 6 feet distance.

C)  Check-In and Temperature Screening:

Continue checking in with the cell phone and have a temperature screening when entering the office.

D)  COVID Symptoms:

If you or a family member has any symptoms associated with COVID, you must report to your supervisor immediately and have a self-quarantine for 10 days.  Alternatively, you may return if you have a negative test result 7 or more days as required by the law.  Please let your supervisor and Human Resources know your COVID test result before returning to work.

E)  Positive Test:

If you have the positive test result, you must notify your supervisor immediately.  We must report any COVID cases within 24 hours to the County if the infected person (including employee, contractor, and volunteer) was at our facility within 48 hours before the symptoms began.  We also must be notified OSHA if you are hospitalized since we are required to report any serious illness.  We will have a licensed professional to sanitize and deep clean any exposed area.  An infected person may return to the church campus after 10 days of isolation from the date his/her symptoms began and 24 hours with no fever and any other symptoms have improved.  

F)  Close Contact:

Close contact is defined as someone who was within six feet of the infected person for a cumulative 15 minutes or more within 24 hours during two days before and 10 days after the infected person’s symptoms began.

If you are in close contact with the infected person, you must have a 10-days quarantine even without any symptoms.  While returning, you must wear a face covering and maintain six feet of distance from others for 14 days.  For a fully vaccinated staff without any symptoms, you do not need to be quarantined, but to wear a face covering and maintain six feet of distance from others for 14 days.

G)  Cleaning and Disinfecting:  Operations Department has been performing routinely cleaning and disinfecting all high-touch areas, following CDC guidelines.

Please contact Human Resources (, (510) 440-9833, if you have any questions.  F)  Free COVID Test Sites:  https://scl.fulgentgenetics.com/appointment/screen/landing, and https://curative.com/
