All Participants who attended MCCOYC, READ THIS!!
TO THE CHURCHES OF THE MCCOYC,
Peace and love be with you all:
It has come to our attention that a youth who attended last week's convention and stayed on the 5th floor (519 West-Boys Side) was diagnosed with a skin infection called MRSA (methicillin-resistant staph aureus). Thankfully and by God's grace, the youth will be alright.
However, we would like to stress that MRSA is a dangerous infection because it cannot be treated with many of the antibiotics that are typically used for skin infections. It usually begins as an area that looks like a pimple then becomes red, tender and may drain pus. It is treatable with specific antibiotics, but needs to be treated promptly. If any of the children in your congregation develop these symptoms please have them see their physician as soon as possible to receive the appropriate treatment.
We do not want to cause alarm or frighten the kids; however, we want to make them aware of the problem and to take care of it as soon as it arises.
Please contact the necessary leaders in your congregation to make sure the word gets spread.
God Bless
