With the COVID-19 risk level in Champaign county being very high at the moment, UUCUC’s COVID-19 advisory group has prepared a list of testing sites in the Champaign-Urbana area, including free sites. Even if you are vaccinated, we encourage you to still periodically get tested, especially if you plan on interacting with staff members and/or other congregants in small group settings, or if you plan to attend the Water Communion service on August 29 at Crystal Lake Park.

With the Delta variant, there has been an increase in the number of breakthrough cases among those vaccinated, and although the breakthrough cases that are occurring are generally mild or even asymptomatic, the severity of illness with these cases varies. The overwhelming majority of cases that are requiring hospitalization or are resulting in death, are among those who are not vaccinated.

If you haven’t been vaccinated yet, we encourage you to go do it now to protect yourself and those you come into contact with, and if you have questions or concerns about getting vaccinated, please reach out to Rev. KB or Rev. Sally to discuss it.
