Brethren: I was informed today by a brother that he had been in contact with an infected person outside the Lodge; the brother concerned was cleared, but announced due to his job requirements, if he had tested positive he would have submitted a list of all his recent contacts to a third party entity. This being just four days after our stated meeting and two since Lodge practice and officer's meeting!
This sets all sorts of alarm bells ringing, as many members object to their personal information being given outside the Lodge, particularly without explicit prior consent being sought and received. That could conceivably result in Masonic charges being pressed by an aggrieved brother, which being JW, I would have to deal with - and I would much rather not!
What is the collective wisdom on this issue - has the question been raised in your jurisdiction?
