COVID Safety Policy
Revision Approved by the ALIRP Board September 28, 2022

In order to minimize risk to volunteers and Partners from exposure to the novel Coronavirus during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alabama Interfaith Refugee Partnership (ALIRP) board recommends that all volunteers and Partners adhere to guidelines proposed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control which can be found here. Both Volunteers and Partners should make their own decisions about the types of volunteer interactions they chose to engage in, and should consider their own levels of risk in making such decisions. Because COVID-19 is often infectious prior to the individual showing symptoms, volunteers and Partners are encouraged to maintain social distance (of more than 6 feet), wear face masks per CDC recommendations, and wash their hands before and after any contact with others.
