The Rime Center’s Update about the Coronavirus
Due to the urgency of the COVID-19 public health emergency and imminent rapid progression of the pandemic in our area, the regional partners: Jackson County, Missouri; Johnson County, Kansas; Kansas City, Missouri and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas announced details of orders for residents to stay home except for essential needs. Watch the press conference announcement on Facebook here, https://www.facebook.com/jocogov/videos/2810638712364189/
All jurisdictions will issue orders that will stay in effect for 30 days from the effective date, March 24, with consideration after 30 days of whether to prolong these orders beyond that date, based on public health and critical care information available at that time.
Examples of essential businesses and services that will remain open during this time:
- Government services
- Infrastructure projects
- Child care
- Health care
- Grocery stores
- Pharmacies
- Delivery/carry-out/drive-through services from restaurants
The Rime Center Board out of a concern for our Sangha’s health and well-being have decided postpone all in person gatherings and instead move many of our programs online using Zoom.
