Gabriel Network is working to protect our clients, volunteers, and staff during the outbreak of the coronavirus while continuing to provide critical services. We will continue to update these policies and recommendations as we learn more over the coming days and weeks. Please refer back to this page regularly for the most up-to-date policies.

- Wear a face covering in public spaces, especially as required by local authorities on public transportation, grocery stores, and other retail locations.

- Before and after meeting with a client;
- Before and after interacting with children;
- After using the bathroom;
- After coughing or sneezing
- After you have been in a public place.
- If a staff member, volunteer, or client are sick, stay home. This includes it other members of your household are sick.
- If a staff member, volunteer, or client are over 60 or in an at-risk group, avoid in-person meetings, contact with sick persons, and large groups.
