But being 5 days after last Thursday's rehearsal, we fall into the window where there could have been some transmission some direction.

I am awaiting a conversation with Joan to talk about any definite protocols, but I wanted everyone to be aware of this and I will  encourage you all to take a rapid test before coming to choir on Thursday, if you have one available to you.  For those of you who have not been personally familiar with the rapid/antigen tests, they are very good at detecting whether or not you are infectious at a particular moment in time, so taking a test within a few hours of an event (rehearsal) is best.   In other words, no need to take a test now unless you have symptoms or have another reason to.
