Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Releases Travel Guidelines For Missionaries

SALT LAKE CITY-Friday, the spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Daniel Woodruff, released travel guidelines for missionaries who are being reassigned to serve.

The statement is as follows:

“As we have recently announced, missionaries throughout the world are departing for their new assignments and will continue to do so during the next several months. Others are returning home at the end of their service. When they depart or return home, regardless of location, we ask missionaries and their families to strictly follow established guidelines to prevent the spread of illness while at the airport or on an airplane. Families should limit the number of people picking up, dropping off or accompanying a missionary based on local airport regulations. Whenever missionaries are inside the airport or on an airplane, they should wear a mask, avoid congregating in groups, not shake hands or hugs and obey all social distancing measures. Above all, missionaries and their families should promptly follow all instructions from airport officials or volunteers. We appreciate the cooperation of missionaries and their families as we all work to follow these important safety guidelines.”
