Coronavirus Update

All parents and guardians of missionaries serving in the Australia Perth Mission have received an email letter providing an update on the safety, well being and activities of the missionaries. If any parents have not received this email please contact the mission office preferably by email and a copy will be sent to you.

To help ensure the missionaries’ continued physical and spiritual well-being, we are following the inspired and well-informed direction of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, our Area Presidency, and the Missionary Department. We also are instructing the missionaries in following local and national government guidelines and precautions, reminding them to:

·           Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

·           Stay in their apartment whenever they themselves are sick. Avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth.

·           Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

·           Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces with household cleaning spray or wipes.

·           Wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (which should always be done if their hands are visibly dirty), and, if soap and water are not readily available, to use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

At this stage all missionaries are well and the work of the Lord is progressing here. Going forward, we will continue to send updates to you as mission circumstances evolve.

Please be assured that we are completely dedicated to keeping all missionaries healthy and safe. And we are most grateful for our loving Heavenly Father’s supporting hand in caring for them. May He continue to abundantly bless all missionaries and their families as we strive to teach and assist the people we have been called to serve.
