NAMI Michigan is actively monitoring the incidence of COVID-19 in our region. We have been asked how COVID-19 may impact upcoming events, including NAMI Michigan Honors. NAMI Michigan is following guidance from local health departments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding large gatherings, including CDC recommendations on preventing the spread of COVID-19.
At this time, our upcoming NAMI Michigan Honors Gala will take place as planned on June 26th, 2021 at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center. Full tables will consist of 6 persons maximum.
However, if you are feeling sick, we ask that you please stay home. Currently, older adults and persons with underlying health conditions are considered to be at increased risk of severe illness and complications from COVID-19. Examples of underlying health conditions include heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, people with weakened immune systems, and people who are pregnant. The CDC recommends that people in high-risk groups consult with their healthcare provider about attending any large gathering.
If you do choose to attend NAMI Michigan Honors, please keep in mind the CDC recommendations on how to keep yourself and others healthy:
Get vaccinated as soon as you are eligible.
Keep at least six feet of space between yourself and others outside of your household.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
Please contact NAMI Michigan at (517)485-4049 with any questions or concerns. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to having you join us!
