Board Message Regarding New CDC Guidelines

Updated May 14, 2021

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We want to assure you that we take the health and well-being of our community very seriously. Like you, we’re closely monitoring the CDC, State, and SRHD updates regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic guidelines and protocols and are making our decisions accordingly.

While the CDC has issued a new update yesterday, Thursday, May 13 to the national guidelines based on national trends and data, Washington State and SRHD have not adopted those guidelines yet. Governor Inslee announced yesterday the potential of full reopening on June 30^th or sooner if the State reaches 70% vaccinations.

In light of the above, we will continue to implement the State’s and Spokane County’s Phase III guidelines until further direction from the State or Spokane County.

Wearing of masks, social distancing, capacity limit, and reservation through Smart Jamaat App will continue for Friday Prayers, Fajr Prayers, and Isha Prayers until further notice. The mosque will continue to be closed for all other prayers.

Anyone who violates these guidelines will be denied the ability to reserve a spot for attending prayers or special events.
