Church Advisory (18 Mar)

Dear Hebronites,

ENTRY RESTRICTIONS AND STAGGERED SEATING

With new travel restrictions effected this week, as well as
a new infection cluster arising in yet another church (Church of Singapore,
Bukit Timah), from this Sunday (22 March), Hebron will refuse the following persons
entry to our worship services:

A.         Recent
returnees from China (including Hong Kong), Iran, South Korea, Japan, Europe,
North America, or any ASEAN country, viz. Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos,
Malaysia (including by land and sea passage), Myanmar, the Philippines,
Thailand, and Vietnam, and any country on the list published by the Ministry of
Health on 13 March (and any subsequent update thereto) where there is known or
potential imported infections in Singapore, not otherwise covered above.

B.         Anyone who recently
has been to the location of an active infection cluster. As of today, these
places are as follows:

1.    SAFRA Jurong Joy Garden Restaurant

2.    Wizlearn Technologies at Science Park II

3.    Seletar Aerospace Heights construction site

4.    Grace Assembly of God and Life Church and Missions Singapore

5.    Boulder+Gym at Aperia Mall at Kallang Avenue

6.    Church of Singapore (Bukit Timah)

C.         Anyone (or a
household member) who is on home quarantine order, leave of absence, or
stay-home notice

D.         Anyone (or a
household member) who has had recent close contact with a person who is
infected or suspected to be infected with COVID-19

E.         Anyone who
is unwell or has a flu-like symptom

“Recent travel” or “recent close contact” refers to travel
or contact that occurred within the past 14 days.

The above Paragraphs will apply to both English and Mandarin
congregations.

In line with anticipated enlargement of travel restrictions
worldwide, from 29 March, we will simplify Paragraph A by refusing entry to
anyone who has returned from overseas travel in the past 14 days.

If you are affected by the above-mentioned restrictions,
please do participate in our 9am service with us through its live streaming,
available on the Hebron website, .

Last Sunday, I mentioned that we will implement staggered
seating in our worship sanctuaries. From 22 March, please occupy the spots
which are marked on the pews or chairs. For this Sunday, 22 March, in view
of our combined English service, persons who cannot be accommodated in
Jerusalem Sanctuary will be directed to the Bethel Sanctuary to participate in
the service through live streaming. We seek your understanding in this
arrangement as we try and avoid over-crowding in the Jerusalem Sanctuary.

The psalmist assures us that “those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot
be moved, but abides forever” (Psalm 125:1). May the peace of God rest upon you
and your loved ones in this time of uncertainty.

In Christ,

Rev Wong Shin Hoe
