"The ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has temporarily altered our daily activities. People are rightly practicing social distancing to limit community spread, in line with the President’s Coronavirus Guidelines for America. Many houses of worship have also suspended or significantly reduced services to avoid mass gatherings. Although many people undoubtedly continue to practice their faith, including through remote services and prayer, most are inevitably eager to return to normalcy and join their fellow congregants in practicing their faiths. The American people are resilient, and we will achieve this goal soon."
The TIG has determined to increase the Physical Threat Level from “SEVERE,” to “CRITICAL,” – our highest level of threat - as of 31 March 2020. The TIG will continue to assess the Physical Threat Level and provide updates accordingly. At present, this increase is valid through sunset on 30 April 2020, but that will be periodically re-evaluated. The TIG has determined to maintain the Cyber Threat Level at “ELEVATED,” as it has been since 20 March 2020. The TIG will continue to assess the Cyber Threat Level and provide updates accordingly. At present, this increase is valid through sunset on 30 April 2020, but that will be periodically re-evaluated.
